Georgia's Resources and Advantages 



PART I. 



GEORGIA AS A WHOLE 



Georgia, the last settled of the original thirteen States, which united under the Fed- 
eral Constitution to form the American Union, is the greatest in area of all the States 
east of the Mississippi river. 

At the time of the first English settlement at Savannah in 1733, it embraced the 
territor)' between the Savannah and Altamaha rivers, but at the close of the French 
and Indian war its boundaries were extended to the Mississippi on the west and to 
latitude 31 degrees and the St. Mary's river on the south and still later to 30 degrees 
21 minutes and 30 seconds on the south. Out of her western lands ceded to the United 
States in 1802 were formed the larger parts of the States of Alabama and ]\Iississippi. 

During the war for Indejiendence, Georgia, the youngest and feeblest of the colo- 
nies, bore her full proportion of hardship and danger, and was nobly illustrated in the 
field by such gallant soldiers as Elijah Clarke, James Jackson, John Dooly, Samuel 
Elbert, John Twiggs, Wm. Few, Lachlan Mcintosh and others, and in the forum by 
Lyman Hall, Button Gwinnett, George Walton, Archibald -Bulloch, Abraham Baldwin 
and many more. 

In the war of 1812 her sons, under General John Floyd, won distinction in the 
campaigns under Andrew Jackson against the Indian allies of the British. In the 
Mexican war she was nobly illustrated by Col. W'm. H. T. \Valker, sorely wounded 
at Chapultepec, and Colonel James ]\IcIntosh, killed at Molino del Rey, 

In the war between the States, Georgia furnished to the Confederate cause nine- 
ty-four regiments and thirty-six battalions, embracing every arm of the service. Many 
of the most brilliant officers of the Southern army were from Georgia: among them 
being John B. Gordon, who commanded the left wing of Lee's army at Appomattox; 
Clement A. Evans, who, on that historic day, after Lee and Grant had arranged terms 
of capitulation, ignorant of what had transpired and commanding a division on the 
extreme left of the army, led a successful charge, capturing prisoners and cannon ; the 
dashing cavalry leader, Joseph \^'heeler, who. after the war, became Congressman from 
Alabama, ancl during the Spanish-American conflict was major-general of L^. S. Vol- 
unteers in Cuba : and James Longstreet, who. after the close of the great American 
conflict, finally made Georgia his hume, and sleeps now in her bosom. 

During the Spanish-American war Georgia furnished more volunteers in propor- 
tion to population than any other State. 



1 6 Georgia's Resources and Advantages. 

Thus at every period of American history Georgia has taken a conspicuous stand. 
Her Crawfords, Berrien, Stephens, Toombs, Cobbs, Benjamin H. Hill and Henry 
Grady were among the greatest orators of America, and no grander pulpit orator than 
George F. Pierce can be named in the roll of America's great preachers. Sidney 
Lanier also ranks high among American poets. 

Great on these lines, Georgia is also one of the most progressive among our 
States. In the later thirties on account of her rapid growth in manufactures and her 
wisdom and zeal in railroad construction, Georgia received the proud title "Empire 
State of the South." 

It has been said that the South was retarded to such an extent by slavery and so 
much damaged by the war that she is far behind the rest of the Union in the race of 
progress. This statement has been repeated again and again until the whole world, 
including our own people, accept it as the truth. 

Growth in population is one of the evidences of progress, and in this Georgia com- 
pares favorably with any of the "Old Thirteen." The United States census of 1900 is 
authority for the following statements : 

The population of Massachusetts is very nearly seven and a half times as large 
as it was at its first census in 1790: 

That of Pennsylvania more than fourteen times as large ; 

That of New York more than twenty-one times as large; 

That of Georgia nearly twenty-seven times as large (the e.xact figures being 26.8 
times as large). 

We think that will do pretty well. 

From the above-named eastern and middle States there has been a large emigra- 
tion to the West, and from Georgia there has also been a very large emigration to all 
the States of the Southwest. Here the record is about evenly balanced. 

In i860 the per capita wealth of these same States was as follows: Massachu- 
setts $662: Pennsylvania, $487; New York, $475: Georgia, $611. 

As a result of the Civil War the per capita wealth of these States was far ahead of 
that of Georgia. In 1870 the comparative per capita wealth was as follows: Mas- 
sachusetts, $1,463; Pennsylvania, $1,081 ;New York. $1,483 ; Georgia, $226. 

In i8go the record stood thus: Massachusetts, $1,252, a loss of seven and a half 
per cent, in per capita wealth from 1870 to 1890: Pennsylvania, $1,177, a gain of 
eight and four-fifths per cent.: New York, $1,430, a loss of three per cent.: Georgia, 
$464, a gain of 105 per cent. 

We think this record speaks well for the enterprise and progressive spirit of Geor- 
gia. 

A State that had suffered such shrinkage in values by the disastrous results of 
war and was able so soon to get upon her feet and vie with her more fortunate sisters 
in the race of progress, must be inhabited by an enterprising, dauntless and intelligent 
people, whom no disasters can appall and no adversities subdue. 

But say some: "The South is far behind the North in the matter of conveniences." 
This, too, is a mistake. Name the convenience known to the North that we do not 
have in our cities, and large towns : steam-heated houses, lit by gas, or electricity, or 
both, and supplied with water. Wherever one may travel, in cities or mid rural scenes, 
he will find comfortable homes and frequently elegant dwellings, supplied with all 
modern conveniences. And we are abundantly supplied with telegraph and telephone 
lines, both short and long-distance, urban and rural.

ton. Oxford. Preston. Social Circle, Sylvania, Sylvester, Talbotton. Warrenton. ^^'at- 
kinsville. Zebulon. 

As to the telegraph, it penetrates almost every nook aufl corner of the State. 

The growth of the cities and towns of Georgia in every section of the State is 
evidence of prosperous farmers ; for a strong agricultural community is back of every 
thriving, growing town. Electric railways give rapid transit to all parts of our cities 
and afford speedy and comfortable communication with near-by towns and \-illages or 
pleasure resorts. 

Magnificent lines of railway traverse every section of the State giving to its farm- 
ers easy access to markets ; to the enterprising merchants of her cities and towns readv 
communication with the magnificent farms, market gardens and immense orchards that 
abound in north, middle and south Georgia : bringing to her manufacturers the fleecy 
cotton of her fields, the coal and iron of her mines, and the timbers from her forests. 

In addition to railroad advantages many Georgia towns enjoy fine water trans- 
portation, and thus obtain cheaper freight rates. The Savannah river is navigable for 
steamboats to Augusta. 230 miles from its mouth. Steamboats ply the Chattahoochee 
from Columbus to the Apalachicola, and thence to the Gulf of Mexico: to which also 
steamboats descend from Allianv bv the Flint and Apalachicola rivers. From the At- 
lantic steamboats also ascend the Altamaha and its branch, the Ocmulgee, to Hawkins- 
ville. or its other branch, the Oconee, almost to the city of Milledgeville. The St. 
Mary's river is navigable for the largest vessels from its mouth up to and beyond the 
town of that name. The Satilla and Ogeechee are each navigable for some distance 
from their mouths. The inlets and sounds flowing between the mainland and the 
lovely islands that skirt the Georgia coast fmm the Savannah tn the Saint Mary's riv- 
ers are navigable for large steamboats. 

*Also have a system of water-works. 2 



i8 Georgia's Resources and Advantages. 

Through St. Simon's sound the largest ocean vessels pass up the Turtle river, a 
short but deep stream, to the city of Brunswick, the second in importance of the sea- 
ports of Georgia, as Savannah is the first, to whose \vhar\es great ocean vessels asccn 1 
by the river of that name. 

In Northwest Georgia the city of Rrmie enjoys a fine river trade through the Oos- 
tanaula and the Coo.sa. Into its lap steamboats pour the productions of the Coosa val- 
leys, such as lumber, iron, grain and cotton, and the staple products of the Oostanaula 
valley. 

Everv section of Georgia is drained by rivers of considerable size with their trib- 
utary creeks and branches, and is consequently a splendid agricultural country. 

The Drainage System of Georgia comprises nine basins : The Tennessee basin, 
drained by tributaries of the Tennessee river: the Mobile basin, drained by the Talla- 
poosa anfl Coosa rivers and their tributaries into the Gulf of Mexico; the Apalachicola 
basin, drained bv the Chattahoochee, Flint and .\palachico'ia rivers into the Gulf <if 
Mexico: the Altamaha basin, drained by the Oconee, Ocmulgee and Altamaha rivers 
into the Atlantic ocean: the Ogeechee basin, drained by the river of that name through 
Ossabaw- sound into tlie .Atlantic ocean : the Savannah basin, drained by the Savannah 
river and its tributaries into the Atlantic ocean : the Ochlockonee basin, drained by 
the river of that name through Ochlockonee bay into the Gulf of Mexico : the Suwan- 
nee basin, drained bv the Allapaha and Withlacoochee rivers and their tributaries into 
the Suwanee river and Gulf of Mexico; the Satilla and St. Mary's bisin, drained b\ 
the Satilla river through St. Andrew's sound and by the St. Mary's through Cumber- 
land sound into the Atlantic ocean. Between these two rivers lies the noted Okefe- 
nokee swamp. 

Extent and Topography of Georgia. — Georgia, embracing 59,475 square 
miles, lies between the parallels of 30° 21' and 39" and 35° North latitude, embracing 
4° 38' 21". This fact would itself insure variety of climate and productions. This 
variety is increased bv the topography of the country: the northern section containing 
mountains of from 3,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level, and having an average eleva- 
tion of more than 1,000 feet, while Middle Georgia ranges from 180 to 500, and in 
a few instances to i.ooo feet above sea-level, and Southern Georgia has an average ele- 
vation from 100 to 500 feet. 

Highest Elevations. — Some of the peaks of the Blue Ridge chain of mountains 
rise to an elevation of 5,000 feet. Some of the most noted peaks are : Sitting Bull 
middle summit of Nantahala"), in Towns county, 5,046 feet above sea-level; Mona 
(east summit of Nantahala), 5,039 feet; Enota, also in Towns county, 4,797 feet; 
Rabun Bald, in Rabun county, 4,718 feet; Blood, in Union county, 4,468: Tray, in 
Habersham county, 4.403 feet; Cohutta, in Fannin county, 4,155 feet. Dome, in Towns 
county, 4,042 feet; Grassy, in Pickens county, 3,290 feet; Tallulah. in Habersham 
county, 3.172 feet; Yona, in White count}-, 3.167 feet. 

Twenty miles to the west of the Blue Ridge lies the Cohutta range, with an aver- 
age altitude of 3,000 feet above sea-level. To the northwest of this range are Lookout 
and Sand Mountain ranges, spurs of the Alleghanies which, like the Blue Ridge, be- 
long to the great Appalachian mountain system. The highest spur of Lookout Moun- 
tain range. High Point, has an elevation of 2,408 feet, while Pigeon Mountain, the 
northeastern spur of the same range, has at its loftiest point an altitude of 2,331 feet, 
and still another spur, known as Round IMountain, rises to 2,200 feet above the level 
of the sea. Taylor's Ridge, with its prolongation, called the White Oak Mountains, 
varies in elevation from 1,300 to 1.500 feet, while a little further south Rocky Face

Ridge, rising to a height of from 1,500 to 1,700 feet above sea-level, forms the eastern 
watershed of Chickamauga river, which flows through the valley at an elevation of 
900 feet above the sea. Going snuthward one comes to Pine, Lost and Kennesaw IMoun- 
tains, the last of which, with its double peak is 1,809 f^^t above sea-level. In a rolling 
country of hills and level stretches about 14 miles east of the city of Atlanta, a vast 
pile of granite, called Stone Mountain, has an elevation of 1,686 feet above the sea 
and about 700 or 800 feet above the surrounding country. There are a few other ele- 
vations in Middle Georgia, which, rising to a considerable height above the level coun- 
try, are called mountains, as Pine and Oak mountains, on the eastern boundary of 
Harris county, and Graves mountain, in Lincoln county. Sections of Southwest Geor- 
gia have hills which rise to an altitude of 500 feet above the level of the sea. About 
3,000 square miles of the region along the Atlantic coast have an elevation of 100 feet. 

Of Nine Climate BeIvTS found in the LTnited States, eight are represented in 
Georgia, the lowest having a mean annual temperature of less than 40 degrees, the high- 
est, of between 70 and 80 degrees. Of course the lowest in mean annual temperature is 
found on the highest of the mountain peaks. Below the summit of these loftiest 
mountains along their sides the mean annual temperature is between 40 and 45 degrees 
and corresponds with upper New England and New York, and the mountain region 
of the two Virginias. A still larger climate zone of between 45 and 50 degrees of 
mean annual temperature corresponds with portions of New York, Pennsylv^ania and 
Ohio. A narrow strip having between 50 and 55 degrees of mean annual temperature 
runs northward through North Carolina and Virginia up to New Jersey, while another 
zone of between 55 and 60 degrees, and about three times as large as all the preceding 
together, passing through both Carolinas ends in Virginia. 

Nearly all Middle Georgia is in a climate zone of between 60 and 65 degrees, 
which corresponds with that of upper Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, West 
Tennessee and Arkansas and part of Virginia. 

Southern Georgia has a climate ranging between 65 and 70 degrees, and corre- 
sponding with that of Southern Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and upper Florida. 

The mean annual temperatures at some of the important stations in North and 
Middle Georgia are as follows: At Rome, 61.9 degrees; Gaines\-ille, 61.3; Atlanta. 
61.4: Carrollton, 62; Athens, 63: Augusta, 64: LaGrange, 64.1; Thomson, 64.7. 

For lower Middle and Southern Georgia, these temperatures are at ]\Iacon. 66.1 
degrees: at Cuthbert, 68.1; at Americus, 68.2: at Brunswick, 68.1. 

The only station touching the zone between 70 and y^ degrees of mean annual 
temperature is Blackshear, with 70.2 degrees. 

The isothermal line of 80 degrees July temperature runs above Augusta and Macon 
to West Point. In the greater portion of Middle Georgia abm-e this line, and in Nortli 
Georgia, the July temperature is between y^ and 80 degrees. 

Below this same isothermal line througout the greater part of East, Southeast 
and Southwest Georgia the July temperature is between 80 and 85 degrees. 

For the whole State the mean July temperature is 81.8 degrees. 

Snow seldom falls in Southern Georgia, and there rarelv to a depth of more than 
two inches. The fall and depth of snow increase slightly in ^fiddle Georgia. Tn the 
mountain regions the frequency and deoth of snow storms show considerable increase. 

Atlanta, the capital and largest citv. near the border of Middle and Northwest 
Georgia, situated on a ridge with an average elevation of 1,050 feet above sea-level, 
has a mean annual temperature corresponding to that of ^^'^ashington, St. Louis and 
Louisville, the winters being warmer and the summers cooler. 



Georgia's Resources and Advantages. 21 

The Annual Avekace Raineaeu for Georgia is 49.3 inches. The highest is at Ra- 
l)un Gap, 71.7 inches, and the lowest at Swainsboro, 39.4. inches. At Atlanta it is 52.12 
inches. For jMiddle Georgia the average annnal rainfall is 49.7 inches; for East Geor- 
gia, 41.4 inches, and for Northwest Georgia 60.3 inches. 

The average of the summer rainfall is: For North Georgia, 13. 6 inches; for South- 
west Georgia. 14.5 inches, and for the entire State, 13.4 inches. .Vt different locali- 
ties representing every section of the State, the summer rainfall averages: in Rome, 
10.2 inches; Atlanta, 10. S inches; Ralnin Gap. 15.4 inches; .\mericus, 16 inches; Bruns- 
wick, 16.6 inches. 

Agriculture. — With its great \ariety of climate, owing to its nearly four and a 
half degrees of latitude, and the varying altitudes of its different .sections, Georgia can 
raise the greatest \ariety of products of any State in the Union. The crops and fruits 
of every section of our country are found within its borders. 

On the extreme southern section of its mainland, and on its sea-islands are grown 
also many of the fruits of the tropics, such as oranges, lemons, bananas, etc. In every 
section of Georgia are found pomegranates and figs. 

In Northwest Georgia there is great variety of surface and soil. There is abund- 
ance of land, either rolling or entirely level, well adapted to the growing of corn, 
wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, cow-peas, vegetables, clover, timothy, orchard 
grass, Bermuda, Johnson, red-top and many other grasses useful for hay and pastur- 
age. Fine cotton is produced also as far north as Floyd county, al)o\-e which very lit- 
tle of this crop is raised. There is also in this section a great \-ariety of the finest 
fi-uits, such as peaches, apples, pears, cherries, and all kinds of berries and grapes. 
Siin:e of the most noted valleys are Cedar, Texas, Broomtown and Vann's. 

In Northeast Georgia, the most mountainous and most thinly-inhabited section, 
but little over 12 per cent, of the land is under cultivation. Much of the tillalile land, 
liowever, has a very rich dark red soil. Little Tennessee valley, in Rabun county, 
and Nacoociiee valley, in \\'hite county are noted for fertility and bear all kinds of 
crops, grasses and fruits. 

Of the area known as ]\Iiddle Georgia 75 per cent, is under culti\atii n. The cen- 
tral cott!:n region of the State includes the southern part of Middle, and large areas 
of Southern Georgia. This region embraces the sand and pine hills belt, covering about 
3.0C0 square miles, and the red hills belt and yellow loam region, these two. including 
together about 6,650 square miles. Throughout this area, except in the sand hills belt. 
are raised large crops of corn and cotton. 

Along the coast lands embracing an arta of about 2,045 square miles, rice is exten- 
sively culti\-ated, and the Georgia sea-islands prorluce most of the finest cotton known 
to commerce. 

.Ml over Middle and Southern Georgia .grows the sugar-cane, whi-h is i-icher in 
saccharine matter than any other known plant from which sugar is extracted. 

The average yield of sugar-cane to the acre, about 200 gallons of syrup, is f.ar lie- 
low that obtained by the best cultivation, ^klany farmers in Georgia have obtained by 
emploving the best methods, from 500 to 700 gallons to the acre. 

The United States census of 1900 reports the crop of 1899, which was one of the 
poorest seasons that Georgia has known in a lon.g time for all kinds of crops and h ir- 
ticnltural products. Bv that census the total value of Georgia's a.gricultural |)ro(l- 
ucts was $86,345,343. Of this amount, $42,534,235 represented the value of the cotton 
crop, and $17,158,868 that of the com crop. The sugar-cane brought $1,690,000; 
Irish potatoes, $326,856; sweet potatoes, $2,354,390, and nu'scellaneous vegetables $3,-

009,306. The peach crop for the census year (1899) ^^as almost entirely wiped out by 
late frost. In 1902 bulletins of the United States Department of Agriculture report- 
ed the value of Georgia's cotton crop to be above $69,000,000, and of the corn crop 
more than $19,000,000. Thus, in 1902, the cotton and corn alone exceeded in value 
all the agricultural products of the State combined in the census year. 

The total value of Georgia's cotton crop in 1905 was $102,777,032, of which sum 
the cotton-seed furnished $13,267,452. The value of the corn crop for 1905 was 
$33,078,615. 

We give here cotton acreage and production in Georgia from 1879 to 1905.

Georgia has in her commercial orchards more than 16,000,000 peachtrees, of which 
over half are now in bearing. In an orrlinarily good fruit year the peach crop in 
Georgia is worth at least $4,000,000, and in some years will go far ahead of those fig- 
ures. The agricultural and horticultural products of Georgia combined, in 1905, ap- 
proximated in value $160,000,000. Georgia outranks all the States in the quality and 
value of her watermelons. So large is their shipment and sale that they rank as one of the 
great money crops of the State. As many as 316,000 watermelons have been sold in 
Augusta, or shipped from that city in a single season. In Georgia more than 100,000 
acres are devoted to their culture, and the niunber of cars needed in their transporta- 
ion is in excess of 10,000 a year. 

One of the finest and richest of nuts, the common black walnut, grows abundantly 
in Georgia. English walnuts and pecans also do well in every section of Georgia. 
There is a large pecan grove near West Point, one in Jasper county, near Monticello. 
several groves in Mitchell county, one of which covers 100 acres; a grove of 1,000 trees

in Douglierty county, several groves in Berrien county, near Tifton; also groves in 
Hancock and Spalding counties, a large gro\e near Rome, trees which bear abundantly 
in Richmond county, and in the city of Augusta. 

Peanuts or ground-peas (also called goobers) are raised in abundance all over 
Georgia. The spreading branches of the white peanut lie flat upon the ground, while 
those of the red jjcanut and Spanish peanut have an upright growth. The Spanish 
peanuts mature earlier than the others, and are the surest crop of the three. The pea- 
nuts growing in Georgia's most southern section are valuable for making peanut oil. 
The harvesting must take place before frost. The yield of nuts is from 30 to 50 bush- 
els, and sometimes 100 bushels to the acre. Well cured peanut hay makes fine stock 
feed, especially for ewes in lambing season. 

The chufa, a species of ground or grass nut, nas a pleasant taste, and is highly es- 
teemed by some farmers as a fattening food for hogs. 

Cassava (the variety known as sweet cassava) though a new crop to Georgia, has 
done splendidly, wherever it has had a fair trial, through the whole southern section 
of the State. From its roots are made the best of starch, and from them also can be pre- 
pared tapioca, and other excellent dishes for the table. As stock feed they are first- 
class. The most important value of cassava is its ability to produce the best starch 
known to commerce. On one acre of South Georgia land, with proper cultivation, it 
will yield 4,000 pounds of starch, while the best corn or potato lands of Illinois or 
Michigan can produce only 1,200 pounds of starch from these vegetables. 

Stock-raising is very profitable to those engaged in it. In North Georgia the slopes 
of the mountains and hills are well suited to the grazing of stock, and the long level 
stretches of the wiregrass or South Georgia section are especially suited to this pur- 
pose. In Southern Georgia cattle and sheep need very little shelter, and for only a 
few weeks in the winter. There are in every section of Georgia model daiiy herds of 
high-grade cattle, and many farmers are paying attention to the raising of the best 
types of beef-cattle. Horses, mules, swine and poultry are plentiful for all purposes. 
In 1900 the total value of all live stock on farms, including poultry, was $35,200,507, 
and the total value of all domestic animals not on farms was estimated at $2,281,059, 
making in all $37,481,566. 

The number of specified domestic animals on farms m igoo was: neat cattle, 899,- 
491, valued at $8,828,498, of which number 276,024 were dairy cows ; horses, 127,407, 
valued at $7,092,228; mules, 267,321, valued at $14,454,822: asses and burros, 519. 
valued at $45,850; sheep, 336,278, valued at $438,363: swine, 1,424.298, valued at 
$2,577,950: goats. 84,624, valued at $61,972. The total value of the above-named ani- 
mals was $33,499,683. 

Of poultry, there were 4.549,144 chickens, 103.416 turkeys, 208,907 geese and 
64,895 ducks. The total value of all this poultry was $1,458,055. There were also 
187,919 swarms of bees, valued at $243,769. 

The United States government year-book for 1905, gave 972,658 neat cattle, val- 
ued at $14,924,609: horses, 137,918, valued at $15,910,168: mules. 225.187, valued 
at $30,409,227; sheep, 273,893, valued at $588,869; swine, 1,438,830, valued at $7.- 
841,624. The total value of all these being $69,674,497. 

The Forest Timbers of Georgia are many and valuable. Those of Northwest 
Georgia embrace six varieties of oak (red, white mountain or chestnut, black, water 
and post oak), two varieties of pine (short-leaf and long-leaf, the latter differing from 
the long-leaf of Southern Georgia), poplar, ash, beech, elm, chestnut, hickory, maple, 
(including the sugar maple), \\alnut, iron-wood, sugar-berry, sycamore, sweet-goim. 



24 Georgia's Resources and Advantages. 

black-gum, dogwood, persimmon, sassafras, w ild cherry, red-bud, warhoo and cedar. 
Many of these are found in large quantities and are useful for the manufacture of fur- 
niture and hardwood finish for dwellings. The oaks and pines are much used in the 
construction of buildings, the manufacture of furniture, farming utensils, wagons, etc. 
Large quantities of the oak and pine are annually shipped. 

In the forests of Northeast and Middle Georgia are found in the red lands, Span- 
ish, white and post oaks, hickory, chestnut, dogwood, persimmon, sassafras and in the 
lowlands of some of the counties short-leaf pine, poplar, ash, walnut, cherry and buck- 
eye. There is more hickory and less pine than on gray, sandy land. With these black- 
jack is freel)^ interspersed. 

Throughout the sand and pinc-Jiill belt of Middle and South Georgia the prevail- 
ing timbers are pines, both long and short-leaf. There are also found some scrub 
black-jack, oak, sweet-giuns and doe'wood and along the streams are undergrowths of 
bay and gall-berry bushes. 

Among the red hills throughout the section lying between the Savannah and Flint 
rivers, the timbers are oak, hickory, short-leaf pine and dogwood, with beech, maple 
and poplar on the lowlands. 

Throughout the yellow-loam region are oak, hickory and long-leaf pines. 

What is known as the long-leaf pine region embraces 17,000 square miles. The 
forests of this section are a great source of wealth to the State. The timber lands are 
being put under cultivation, as fast as they are cleared. The pine and palmetto flats 
around Okefenokee swamp furnish large quantities of long-leaf pine, cypress and saw 
palmetto, which are found also along the creek bottom and hammock lands, together 
with black-gum, tupelo gum, titi and maple. 

Throughout the coast region are found also magnificent live-oaks, red and water 
oaks, red cedar, hickor}^, chincapin, sassafras, cabbage and blue palmetto. 

Geology and Mining. — Georgia is divided into three main geological areas. The 
Palaeozoic division in which are represented Cambrian, Silurian, Devonian and Carbo- 
niferous formations is found in the Northwest section of Georgia and embraces the 
counties of Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Chattooga, Floyd and the larger por- 
tions of Murray, Gordon, Bartow and Polk Shales, sandstones, limestones, quartzites 
and cherts are abundant. Valuable deposits of coal, iron, manganese, roofing slate 
and aluminum (or bauxite), are found in this region of parallel mountain ridges and 
valleys. The Crystalline area includes a much larger portion of the State, embracing 
all those parts not in the Palaeozoic area that run north of a line drawn from north- 
east to southwest, through Augusta, Milledgeville, Macon and Columbus. Here are 
found granites, gneisses and schists, while on the border of the Palaeozoic and Crys- 
talline areas are found the marbles for which Georgia has become famous in every sec- 
tion of the Union. The marble belt traverses Fannin. Gilmer, Pickens and Cherokee 
counties, and the most important quarries are found in Pickens county. 

Many localities in the Crystalline area are rich in granite and gneiss, and in several 
portions of this same area corundum is found in considerable quantities. 

Before the discovery of gold in California the gold mines of Georgia were highly 
esteemed. For a time the excitement over the rich mines of California caused a great 
decrease in mining operations in Georgia. But in recent years there has been a great 
awakening in the gold region of the State. The gold deposits are found in four 
belts, of which, the first runs through Rahnn, Habersham, White, Lumpkin, Dawson, 
Forsyth, Cherokee, Cobb, Bartow, Paulding and Haralson counties. The second belt 
traverses Rabun, Habersham. Hall, Gwinnett, Forsvth, Milton, DeKalb and Fulton

counties. A third gold belt passes across Cobb, Paulding and Carroll counties. There 
is a fourth gold belt which passes through Lincoln, Columbia, AIcDuffie and Warren 
counties in the southwest part of the Crystalline area. In the counties of Towns, Un- 
ion, Gihner, Fannin and Meriwether are scattering deposits of gold. 

The coal fields of Georgia are mostly in Dade and Walker counties. 

The iron ores are in the Palaeozoic area, the brown ores being found in Bartow, 
Polk and Floyd counties, and the red ores being mined in Walker and Chattooga 
counties. 

There are large deposits of bauxite (or altiminumj in Georgia. The most exten- 
sive are in Floyd and Bartow counties, but this mineral is also found in Polk, Walker 
and Chattooga counties. 

Deposits of corundum occur in Rabun, Towns, Union, Habersham, Carroll and 
Heard counties. Near the Carolina line in Rabun county on Laurel creek is the larg- 
est corundum mine in Georgia and one of the most noted in the United States. 

Of other minerals pyrite is found in Lumpkin county, copper in Murray and Fan- 
nin counties; talc in Murray, Fannin and Cherokee; mica in Union and Fannin, and 
barite in Bartow. 

Near the town of Emerson, in Bartow county, graphite abounds. 

Several precious stones are found in Georgia : amethysts in Rabun county ; a few 
diamonds in Hall ; some good moonstones in Upson county, and in the northeast part 
of the Crystalline area have been found rubies and sapphires of small size. 

Limestone for calcimining is found not only in the Palaeozoic and Crystalline 
areas in Northwest and Northeast Georgia, but also in localities in the coastal plain 
region which includes all the Southern part of Georgia. In this coastal plain region 
marls and phosphate abound. 

Limestone for building purposes is found in beds throughout the counties em- 
braced in the Palaeozoic area and in Hall and Habersham counties of the Crystalline 
area. Through all that part of Georgia north of what is called the fall line, which 
runs from Augusta through 3iIacon to Columbus, are found clays suitable for the man- 
ufacture of common brick and the coarser grades of earthenware. 

Immediately below this fall line there is a narrow belt running across the State 
in which are found clays suitable for the manufacture of porcelain, enameled brick, 
china ware, terra cotta, sewer pipe, etc. 

The annual otitput of all the minerals of Georgia is about $6,000,000. 

Mineral Springs are found in Georgia in the Palaeozoic and Crystalline areas. 
Among those of medicinal value are chalybeate, sulphurous and lithia waters. Ac- 
cording to the report of the United States Geological Survey, the output of the min- 
eral waters of Georgia in 1898 was 197,100 gallons, valued at $39,230. 

Artesian Wells are confined, with a few exceptions, to the coastal plain region. 
Almost all this portion of the State is underlaid by per\-ious beds, which, when pierced 
by the drill, furnish large quantities of pure, wholesome water. Not all of these 
water-bearing beds furnish flowing wells. But those non-flowing wells furnish large 
quantities of pure water, which can be brought to the surface by pumps. 

The average depth of the wells already bored is about 450 feet. The various 
strata penetrated consist of soft limestones, clays and sands. Thus the wells can be 
had for very little outlay of money. 

The sanitary advantages that have resulted to many towns and localities all over 
the South Georgia coastal plain through tlie pure, wholesome drinking water of the ar- 
tesian wells, are seen in the fact that sections once dreaded as malarial and sickly are 



Georgians Resources and Advantages. i'} 

How considered among the most salubrious in the State and are increasing more rap- 
idly in population than even the hill country of North Georgia. The following towns 
are now supplied with water from artesian wells: Abbeville, Albany, Americus, Arl- 
ington, Bainbridge, Blakely, Brunswick, Buena Vista, Cairo. Camilla, Columbus, Cor- 
dele, Dawson, Dublin, Fitzgerald, Fort Gaines, Hazlehurst, Louisville, Lyons, McRae, 
Marshallville, Montezuma, Moultrie, Nashville, Oglethorpe, Quitman, Richland, Saint 
Mary's, Sandersville, Savannah, Smithville, Thomasville, Thomson,* Tifton, A'aldosta, 
\'ienna, W'aycross, Waynesboro, Wrightsville. 

Water Powers. — The streams of Georgia furnish water powers in numerous lo- 
calities in varying amounts from the little cascade that runs a small neighborhood 
mill, to the great shoals and falls that furnish from jo,ooo to 30,000 horse powers, and 
run mighty flouring mills and cotton factories. 

With the exception of a few notable cases, the largest water powers of Georgia 
occur at or just above what is known as the Southern Fall Line, running from Au- 
gusta on the northeast down through Macon in Central Georgia to Cnlumbus on the 
southwest, where the streams pass from the hard rocks of the Crystalline area to the 
softer formations of the coastal plain ; and on the western Fall Line, formed by the 
contact of the Palaeozoic and Crystalline areas in the northwest, passing through 
Polk, Bartow, Gordon, and Murray counties. 

Along these fall lines are located the larger water powers. But numerous other 
powers are to be found at various points on different streams throughout the State. 

Manufactures. — Georgia, on account of her progressive spirit, displayed espec- 
ially in manufacturing enterprises and railroad construction, received in the early 
thirties the proud title, "Empire State of the South," and this title she still worthily 
wears. By the United States census reports of 1900 there were 7,504 manufacturing 
establishments in Georgia, with a total capital of $89,789,656, employing 83,842 per- 
sons and turning out products valued at $106,654,527. Of these establishments, 
3,015 — having a capital of $79,303,316, employing 83,336 wage-earners and manufac- 
turing products valued at $94,532.368 — were selected for comparison with a class of 
estaljlishments included in the census of 1905, when the number of establishments 
reported was 3,219, the capital $135,211,551, the number of wage earners 92.749 and 
the value of products $151,040,455. The percentage of increase in this class was 
therefore 6.8 per cent, in the number of establishments, 70.5 per cent, in capital, 11.3 
per cent, in the number of wage-earners, and 59.8 per cent, in the value of products. 

By the twelfth census there were in Georgia 68 cotton mills, with 817,345 spindles 
and 19,398 looms. In United States bulletin Number 63, on the supply and distiibu- 
tion of cotton for the year ending August 31, 1906, Georgia makes the following 
showing: 138 establishments (or mills), 1.573,450 spindles, of which 26,452 were 
idle and 1,546.998 in operation. The number of active spindles in 1905 was 1,331,765. 
Thus there was an increase of 215,233 active spindles from 1905 to 1906. The cotton 
taken for consumption in 1906 was 510,329 bales, the cotton consumed was 513,814 
bales, weighing 248.649,791 pounds. The ratio of consumption to production in 1905 
was 23.9 per cent., and in 1906 it was 29.2 per cent. The average gross weight of 
the Georgia bale was 483.7 pounds. 

The number of looms in Georgia is about 32,000. 

In bleached cotton goods Georgia stands fourth in the Union with 24,265,583 
square yards. The cotton gins, which in 1900 numbered 4.720. running for four 
months, have increased to more than 8,000, in about 4,700 establishments or ginneries. 
It w as while Eli Whitney was living in Georgia that he invented the cotton gin.

Georgia's Resources and Advantages. 



The cotton oil mills in operation in 1901 numbered 58 and paid above $5,000,000 
for cotton seed, whose finished products were vakied at $14,000,000. In 1904 there 
were 104 cotton oil mills and the increase of their business has been correspondingly 
great. For the season of 1906-07, there were registered 129. 

The fertilizer establishments registered with the Commissioner of Agriculture for 
the season of 1903 and 1904 numbered 145. Many of these do a very heavily business all 
over the Southern States. For the season of 1906-07 thev numbered 198. 

Georgia stood ahead of all the States in the manufacture of turpentine and resin 
in 1900 and exported 14,623,328 gallons of spirits of turpentine and 1.408,928 barrels 
of turpentine, rosin and pitch. There were reported in 1900, 1,251 establishments 
with a capital of $11,802,716 engaged in the lumber industry. In the manufacture of 
turpentine and rosin Georgia was second in 1905 and Florida stood first. 

Other Manuf.\ctures are printing establishments, flour and grist mills, woolen 
mills, furniture factories, ornamental iron works, foundries, blast furnaces, carriage 
factories, car shops, black-smithmg and wheelwrighting, manufactories of brick, tile 
and pottery, manufactories of paints, chemicals, ice, electric-light plants, carpenter 
work, canning factories, creameries and numerous others. Among the most import- 
ant manufactories of the State are the marble and stone works, turning out the build- 
ing and paving stones and splendid marbles for which Georgia is so famous through- 
out the Union. By the report for 1905 Georgia had six creameries, and there are hun- 
dreds employed in the dairy business in every section of the State. 

Georgia had, in 1905, 114 flour and gri,st mills, with a capital of $1,875,718, with 
products valued at $8,178,926 for wheat and corn.

There are many small flour and grist mills not numbered in the census report. 
When the colony of Georgia was founded by Oglethorpe, it was intended to be a 
silk producing country. Efiforts are being made to revive this industry. In 1902 a 
silk-growers association was formed in Atlanta, consisting of members from many

Georgia's Resources and Advantages. 33 

Electric lines traverse not only all the large cities, but many of the smaller cities and 
towns, connecting them with their suburbs and in many instances with neighboring 
towns. The grand trunk lines are very energetic in ad\'ertising the advantages of the 
sections through which they pass, the Southern and Central being especially noted for 
the good work which they are doing for Georgia. 

Good Roads. — The number of good country roads is rapidly increasing all over the 
State. Among the best are the roads running out from Atlanta to College Park, 
Peachtree Creek, the water-works and Decatur. Many miles of well-graded macad- 
amized roads are found in the counties of Fulton, Floyd, Bartow, Bibb, Richmond, Jef- 
ferson, Emanuel, Spalding, Meriwether and Chatham. The shellroad from Savannah 
to Bonaxenture and Thunderbolt, also the road from that city to Beaulieu and Isle of 
Hope, were noted before the Civil War. Some of the macadamized roads leading out 
from Rome, in Floyd county, are built of hard limestone and marble. The country 
roads which radiate from Augusta and Macon, forming the fa\^orite drives of the citi- 
zens, are among the best. The same may be said of the shellroads of Glynn county 
centering in the city of Brunswick, and of the well-graded drives through the fragrant 
pines that go out from Thomasville into the surrounding country. 

Mail Facilities. — Not only do the cities and towns of Georgia have the best of 
mail facilities, but through the bounty of "Uncle Sam," the farmers in every section 
have the rural free delivery, which furnishes them letters and daily papers on the date 
of publication. 

Banks. — By the report of the State Treasurer for the year 1906, there were in 
Georgia 83 national banks with a paid in capital of $8,076,700, and individual deposits 
of $29,561,709. There are 418 State banks with $16,906,292 capital, and over $42,- 
000,000 deposits. 

Assessed Valuation. — In 1900. according to the report of the Comptroller-Gen- 
eral, the assessed valuation of property in Georgia was $434,336,134: in 1906 it was 
$624,465,472. The true valuation is double this amoimt, or $1,248,930,944. The 
bonded debt was $7,531,500 net, and the tax rate was $5.30 per $1,000. 

Education. — Georgia is well provided with schools, both public and private. The 
public school system is an excellent one, and is constantly being improved. , 

It embraces 7,700 schools, of which 4,919 are for white children, and 2,781 for 
colored. Of a total of 9,180 teachers, 5,997 are white and 3.183 colored. Of teachers 
who have enjoyed a normal school training, there are 1,791 white and 447 colored, 
2,238 in all. The number of pupils enrolled in 1902 was 258,984 white and 216,359 
colored, being a total of 439,645. 

The average daily attendance was 159,562 white and 105,826 colored, a total of 
265.388. One of the leading higher institutions of learning in the State is the ITni- 
versity of Georgia, of which the principal buildings are at Athens. This has numerous 
branches, as follows : North Georgia Agricultural College, at Dahlonega : Georgia 
School of Technology, at Atlanta ; Georgia Normal and Industrial College for Ladies, 
at Milledgeville; Georgia State Normal College for both sexes, at Athens; Georgia 
State Industrial College for Colored Youths, near Savannah. 

Several other noted schools are aflfiliated with the University of Georgia, but do 
not receive State funds. These are : South Georgia Military and Agricultural College, 
at Thomasville; Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College, at Hamilton. The

Augusta Medical College is one of the departments of the State University. In At- 
lanta are two medical colleges, and one dental college. 

Two of the most noted colleges in the South are in Georgia : Emory College, at 
Oxford, the property of the North and South Georgia and Florida Conferences of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church (South), and Mercer University, the property of the Bap- 
tists of Georgia. 

The first college in the world chartered for the purpose of hestowing literary de- 
grees upon ladies is ^^'esleyan Female College, at Macon, the property of the Method- 
ists of Georgia and Florida. Shorter College, a Baptist institution, at Rome, was 
built and endowed by Alfred Shorter, of Rome, and Agnes Scott Institute, at Decatur, 
was built by Colonel George W. Scott, liberally endowed and turned over to the Pres- 
byterian Synod of Georgia. Lucy Cobb Institute, at Athens, was founded mostly 
through the efforts of General Thomas R. R. Cobb, one of Georgia's greatest orators 
and most gallant soldiers. Other excellent colleges are : Southern Female College, 
College Park, near Atlanta ; Southern Female College, at LaGrange ; LaGrange Fe- 
male College, at LaGrange; Andrew Female College, at Cuthbert ; Monroe Female Col- 
lege, at Forsyth ; St. Stanislaus College for Roman Catholic priests, near Macon ; 
Young L. Harris Institute, at the town of Young Harris ; Brenau Female College, at 
Gainesville: Piedmont Institute, Rockmart; South Georgia College, at McRae. With the 
exception of the State Industrial College for Colored Youth, at College, near Savannah, 
all the above-named institutions are for whites exclusively. 

For the colored per)ple there are the following institutions : Atlanta University, 
Clark University, Spellman Seminary, Morns Brown College, and Gammon University, 
all at Atlanta ; Payne Institute, at Augusta, under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church, South. In the private schools and colleges of Georgia, are 10,097 whites and 
4,877 colored pupils, lieing a total of 14,974. 

Religion. — The leading Christian denominations are well represented in Georgia, 
the Baptists and Methodists being the most powerful in numbers, wealth and influence. 
The Baptists have a total active membership of 368,000. The church buildings num- 
ber 3,586. In their Sunday-schools are 76,052 pupils. The Methodists have 272,000 
members, 3,205 churches and 117,828 Sunday-school pupils. The Presbyterians have 
18,000 church members, 237 church buildings and 12,600 Sunday-school pupils. The 
Congregationalists have 4,714 members, 65 church buildings and 4,284 Sunday-school 
pupils. There are 7,976 Episcopalians, with 137 church building's, and 4,400 Sunday- 
school pupils. The Disciples of Christ have 9,805 members, no church buildings and 
3,147 Sunday-school pupils. The Roman Catholics have 20,000 church members, 40 
church buildings and 2,500 pupils. The Hebrews in Georgia number about 6,200. 

Charitable Institutions. — Georgia has many benevolent institutions, some of the 
most prominent of which are : The Orphan House at Bethesda, near Savannah, foundef! 
in 1739 by Rev. George Whitefield, in whose honor one of the counties of Georgia 
was named ; the State Lunatic Asylum, at Milledg-eville: Georgia Institute for the Deaf 
and Dumb, at Cave Spring; Acaflemv for the Blind, at Macon: Female .A.sylum, at Sa- 
vannah : Augusta Orphan Asylum, at Augusta; Orphan Home of the North Georgia 
Conference of the M. E. Church, South, at Decatur, about eight miles from the city of 
Atlanta ; Orphan Home of the South Georgia Conference of the ^Methodist Episcopal 
Church, South, at Macon: Mumford Institute Home for Bovs and Girls, near ]\Iacon : 
Appleton Orphan Home (Episcopal), at IMacon: Baptist Orphans' Home. Hapeville. 
near Atlanta, and the Abram's Home for Widows (a Hebrew institution), in Savannah. 



Georgia's Resources and Advantages. 35 

State Government. — The present constitution of the vState of Geori^ia. which was 
adopted in 1877, g'uards carefully the rights of the people and pre\'ents extravagant 
appropriations by the Legislature. The governor is elected for two years and can be 
re-elected for a second term ; after that he retires. His salary is $5,000 per annum. 
The State House officers are as follows: Attorney-General. Comptroller-General, .Adiu- 
tant-General, Treasurer, Secretary of State, State School Comnn'ssioner, Commissinn- 
er of Agriculture, State Geologist, State Librarian, Commissioner of Pensions, three 
Prison Commissioners and three Railroad Commissioners. 

The Supreme Court consists of one Chief Justice and fi\-e Associate Justices. 
There are twenty-four Superior Court Circuits, each having a judge and solicitor. Geor- 
,gia is represented in the National Congress by two Senators and eleven Re]M"esentati\-es. 
Thus the State has thirteen votes in the electoral college. 

Political Divisions and Population. — Georgia has 146 counties, enjoying such 
privileges of self-government, that one of the United States government publications 
speaks of them as so many little commonwealths. As has been said already, the popnla- 
toin of Georgia has shown a steady increase from the first census in 1790 to the last 
estimate of the U. S. Census Bin-eau in 1906. 

We give here the population of Georgia at each Federal census : 

82,548 in 1790. 906,185 in 1850. 

162,686 in 1800. 1,057,286 in i860. 

252,433 in 1810. 1,184,109 in 1870. 

340,983 in 1820. 1,542,180 in 1880. 

576,823 in 1830. 1.837-353 in 1890. 

691,392 in 1840. 2,216,331 in 1900. 

2,443,719 in 1906. 

'JMie tiital white pupulatiim in 1900 was 1,181,109, and the tutal negro p<i])ulatiiin 
was 1,034.998. There were l>esides 204 Chinese, i Jap and 19 Indians. The foreign- 
born population numbered 7,603 males and 4,800 females, a total of 12,403. 

There are 2i7- incorporated places in Georgia, of which jo had a population in 
1900 of more than 2,000. Of these, 13 had a population in excess of 5.CC0 .\tlanta, 
the capital, had ^•C),^y2, antl by the report of the United States Census Bureau it had 
104,984 in 1906. Savannah, the chief seaport, had 54,244, and by the U. S. Census 
rep:)rt for 1906, contains in the coporate limits 68,000 inhaliitants. .-\ugusta, the greatest 
cotton manufacturing city of the South, had 39,441, but now has 43,000. By the same 
report, Macon, which had 23,272, has now 32,692. Columbus, the second great cotton 
manufacturing city of the South, had 17,614, and is now estimated to contain 20,000 
inhaliitants. although the U. S. Census report gives it only 17.800 for 1906. The 
other cities of Georgia, which in 1900 had a population in excess of 5,000, are: .Xthcns, 
10,245; Brunswick, 9,081; .\mericus, 7,674; Rome. 7.291; and includin,g submbs, 
14,000; Griffin. 6,857: Waycross, 5.919: Valdosta, 5,613; Thomasville, 5.322.* 

Some other important and rapidly-growing towns of Georgia are here gi\en with 
their population in 1900: Cartersville. 3.135; Cedartown, 2.823; Dalton, 4,315: Gaines- 
ville, 4.382: Toccoa, 2,176; Marietta, 4.446: Ell^erton, 3,834: Covington. 2,062: Mil- 
ledgeville, 4.219 (the former capital of the State): Washington, 3.300: Barnesville. 

* Of these towns the U. S. Census Report for iqo6 gives to .\thens 11,211 inhabitants, Brunswick 9,453, 
but floes not estimate the population of any place that fell below 8,000 in 1900.

PART II. 



GEORGIA BY SECTIONS 



North Georgia. — This section of the State was the home of the Cherokee Indians 
until 1838, when these original owners of the soil were moved to lands west of the 
iVlississippi river provided for them by the government of the United States. Althougli 
in Dade and \\''alker counties are found the coal mines of Georgia, the lands 
there are also very productive of wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, hay, clover, Irish po- 
tatoes, and vegetables common to both the North and South. Lookout Valley, in 
Dade, McLemore's Cove, Peavine, Armuchee and Chickamauga valleys in Walker, can 
not be excelled in fertility by any lands of Georgia. The vacant lands, woods and 
mountain slopes afford splendid range for stock, such as sheep, cattle and swine, all of 
which are raised throughout this section in considerable numbers. 

Chickamauga Creek and Chattooga river afford fine water powers, which have 
been well utilized. 

Counties of Northwest Georgia. — Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Murray. 
Gordon, Chattooga, Floyd, Bartow, Polk, Paulding, Cobb, Cherokee, Pickens, Gilmer 
and Fannin should all be included in northwest Georgia. This section is rich in minerals, 
such as coal, iron, ochre, manganese, bauxite (aluminum), and gold, and abounds also in 
the finest marble. The Georgia marble quarried in Pickens, Cherokee and Gilmer coun- 
ties varies from pure white to pink, gray, chocolate brown and dark green, and has been 
emplo)-ed in the construction of noted buildings in every part of the Union. No higher 
tribute to its excellence can be given than the fact that with Vermont so nearby, Georgia 
marble has been employed in the structure of the State capitols of Rhode Island and 
Maine, St. Luke's Hospital and the New Stock Exchange in New York, and the Corco- 
ran Art Gallery in Washington. To the list of buildings which have used Georgia mar- 
ble in their construction we must add the United States Government Building at Boston, 
Massachusetts, and the State capitol of Minnesota, and in the interior finish the Georgia 
Capitol and the Piedmont Hotel, in Atlanta. The magnificent Candler Building, in At- 
lanta, said to be the finest in the South, and equal to any in the whole Union for 
beauty, is built entireh^ of Georgia marble. From Holly Springs, in Cherokee county, 
beautiful serpentine has been procured for the decoration of buildings, as may be seen, in 
Chicago and in the Prudential Building of Atlanta. ]\IonoIitiis of Georgia marble suit- 
able for huge columns can be quarried with ease near Graysville, in Catoosa county. In 
Taylor's Ridge and neighboring mountains, sandstone has been quarried to a large ex- 
tent. 

Yellow ochre, a kind of iron ore used in the manufacture of paint, abounds in Bar- 
tow count}', and much of it has been shipped to England to be used in the manufac- 
ture of linoleum. At Emerson, in the san^e county, is a factory for the manufacture 
of hydraulic cement, and nearby are quantities of iron ore. Graphite also is mined 
here.

38 Georgia's Resources and Advantages. 

This beautiful section of the State, in addition to its mineral wealth, has some of 
the finest lands in Georgia. The bottom and valley lands are \ery fertile, producing 
the finest of the wheat, rye and oats, splendid crops of corn, every vegetable grown in 
the North and South, and on some of the lands is grown the best of upland cotton, 
which, from its superior quality, commands the highest prices in the market. On the 
hill slopes are orchards of peaches, apples and the various small fruits. Berries of every 
variety, and of the finest quality, are raised for home consumption, and for the western 
markets. 

Manufacture, commerce and agriculture all combine to make a busy, prosperous 
country. Hence growing cities and towns are found on its lines of railway. 

Rome, in Floyd county, the largest cit)' of Northwest Georgia, has a very pictur- 
esque situation on hills and in the valleys between the Etowali and Oostenaula, at the 
point where they unite to form the Coosa. It is a great railroad center, and at the same 
time has a good steamboat trade on the Oostenaula and Coosa. It has street cars, elec- 
tric lights, water-works, manufactures of iron, cotton, furniture, etc. It has handsome 
residences and public buildings, a good system of public schools, is the seat of Sliorter 
College for ladies, and is well supplied with churches of the different Cln-istian dennmi- 
nations. Population, including suburbs, 14,000; in the corporate limits, 7,291, of wlmm 
4,557 are white and 2,834 colored. 

Floyd is a great agricultural count)-, yielding bountifully grasses, clover, and all 
the cereals, many of the lands easily yielding 50 bushels of corn and 40 of wheat to 
the acre, and producing besides, the best quality of upland cotton. In fruits and ber- 
ries, Floyd is unsurpassed. Pecan trees also bear well in Floyd. 

Cave Spring, in the beautiful and fertile Vann's Valley, has in its limits a large 
limestone cave in the side of a well-wooded hill, at the foot of which is a spring of 
clear, mild limestone water. This town is noted as the seat of the Georgia Academy 
for the Deaf and Dumb, and also contains Hearn Institute. Hearn Female Seminary 
and the Wesleyan Institute. Here also is a plant for steel and manganese, and an elec- 
tric plant. 

At Lindale the proprietors of the great cotton factory have erected an elegant 
school building with library and reading room lighted by electricity for the benefit of 
the operatives. The lands in and around Rome, as a center, range from $10 to $100 
an acre, according to location and fertility. 

Marietta, in Cobb county, i.ioo feet above sea-level, is the next largest town of 
this section, having a population of 4,446, of which 2,516 are white and 1,030 colored. 
Not far from the foot of the double-peaked Kennesaw Mountain, it has pure water, a 
fine climate, good schools, is well supplied with churches, has water-works, a telephone 
system, is lighted by electricity, has the largest chair factory and largest paper mill in 
the State, four marble yards, a large plant for furnishing marble, a canning factory, a 
creamery and other industries. In the beautiful national cemetery are buried 10,000 
Federal soldiers. .\t Kennesaw Mountain was fought one of the great battles of the 
Atlanta campaign of 1864. 

In the northeastern part of Cobb county the splendid water power of the Chatta- 
hoochee has built up Roswell, a growing manufacturing town, with two large cotton 
factories and a woolen mill. 

At the town of Powder Springs are mineral waters liighlv impregnated with sul- 
phur and magnesia. 

Acworth, like Marietta, on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, is in the midst of a 
fine agricultural country, and has a large flouring mill, a chair factory and variety of 



4o Georgia''s Resources and Advantages. 

works for turning out mantels and wheelbarrows, is lighted by elcctricit}- and has water- 
works and telephone connections. The surrounding country is also rich in min- 
erals. Cobb county has some lands which readily yield 50 bushels of corn 
and 40 of wheat to the acre, and also makes good yields of cotton of a superior quality. 
It is noted also for fine commercial peach orchards, and raises in profusion all kinds 
of fruits, berries and vegetables. The large poultry farm, near Smyrna, is one of the 
great enterprises of the county. The price of lands in this country vary from $15 to $100 
an acre. 

Dalton, in Whitfield couniy, comes closest to Marietta in size, having a population 
of 4,315, of whom 3,356 are white and 959 colored. Like Rome and Marietta, it is 
well supplied with churches and schools, has gas, electric light and telephone system 
and water-works, large cotton and flouring mills, canneries and fiourshing commercial 
houses. There is also here a college for young ladies. Dalton has a pretty situation 
on the Western and Atlantic and Southern railways, in a fertile valley, just east of 
Rocky Face and Chattooga mountains. Though reaching to the Tennessee line, Whit- 
field county, in addition to fine crops of cereals, produces cotton of a fine quality, and, 
like Floyd, Bartow and Cobb, has good dairy farms well stocked with Jerseys and 
other good breeds. Fruit and vegetables are raised in abundance. 

Between Dalton and Marietta, on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, is Cartersville, 
in Bartow county, the terminus of the East and West l^ailroad, which runs in a south- 
westerly direction into the State of Alabama. All around this thriving little city are 
fine cotton, corn and wheat lands, and in close proximity are beds of iron ore and man- 
ganese. Ochre is extensively mined, and Cartersville ranks first in the county in the 
manufacture of ochre, and second in the shipment of manganese. It has a population 
of 3,135, of which the whites number i,08o and the blacks 1,455. Cartersville has the con- 
veniences of larger places, such as gas and electric lights, ice factory and water-works. 
It also has manufactories of iron and steel. Bartow county is not only a fine agricul- 
tural region, but is full of manufacturing plants of every kind and enterprising towns 
and villages, such as Adairsville, which has one of the largest flouring mills in Geor- 
gia; Emerson, with its cement and plater works; Cassville, with its tannery, and Alla- 
toona, with its gold stamping-mill. 

AH through the county, in town and country, are schools and churches. 

Polk is a good county for all farm stock. Many of the lands have rich soil, and 
those of Cedar Valley, through which runs Cedar Creek, are equal to the lands in the 
blue grass region of Kentucky. They double in some crops the productiveness of other 
lands that are rated as good, and with other crops more than double them. 

Cedartown, the county-site, so named from the growth of cedar in its vicinity, on 
the former Chattanooga, Rome and Southern Railway, now a part of the Central of 
Georgia railway system, at the point where it is crossed by the East and West Rail- 
way, has manufactories of cotton, cotton-seed oil, knitting mills, an iron furnace, elec- 
tric power cotton gin, a system of water-works owned by the city, an electic light 
plant and a telephone system. Population, 2,823 — white, 2,067, colored, 756. The State 
quarry near Rockmart seems to have an inexhaustible supply of slate for roofing. At 
this place is the flourishing Piedmont Institute for boys and girls. 

Chattooga is a county of market gardens, orchards, minerals and manufactories on 
a large scale. Splendid crops are raised of corn, wheat, oats, Irish and sweet potatoes, 
also some cotton. It is a fine country for hay. No finer peaches or strawberries are 
raised anywhere than on its hills and ridges. 

Iron, bauxite, clay, limestone, manganese, coal, slate, talc and sandstone abound. 



Georgians Resources and Advantages. 4t 

Iron is mined at Dirtseller Alounlain, near the town of Lyerly, at Sliinbone Ridge neai 
Menlo, and Taylor's Ridge, near Sunimerville, and in the town hmits of Sunimerville, 
bauxite is mined. Red iron ore is found in six different veins. Chert is shipped from 
the neighborhood of Sunimerville in p-reat quantities. This well-built town is surrounded 
by prosperous farms cultivated after the most approved methods. Near by also are large 
cotton mills. 

Trion, with its extensive mills, is the largest town in the county (population 
1,926). It has electric lights and telephone connections. 

Flour, grist, saw mills and tanneries are scattered over the county, and schools and 
churches are in every neighborhood. 

In this county are the beautiful and fertile valleys of Chattooga, Broonitown and 
Armuchee. 

Catoosa county has fine farming lands with prosperous farms and gardens and rich 
deposits of building stones, of which the sa dstones and limestones are of superior Cjuali- 
ty. In this county is the noted health resort known as Catoosa Springs, famed for 
the varied mineral waters. The county has tlour, grist and lumber mills and is well 
supplied with schools and churches. Ringgold is its county-site, beautifully situated 
on the north and west of Taylor's Ridge. Named for the gallant IMarylander who 
lost his life in the first battle of the Mexican war, this little town was itself the scene 
of the gallant combat by which General Cleburne, in November, 1863, saved the artil- 
lery and trains of Bragg's defeated army, for which he and his troops received the 
thanks of the Confederate Congress. 

Gordon county, well watered by the Oostenaula, Coosawattee and Connesauga riv- 
ers, has soils similar to those of Floyd and Bartow, producing the finest of wheat, oats, 
rye, corn, potatoes of both kinds, every variety of vegetables and cotton of good quality. 
It is also a good fruit county. It has deposits of bauxite, limestone, iron and, near the 
town of Calhoun, black and variegated marbles. T'hp m-ioe of lands is from $5 to $50 
per acre, or 50 per cent, increase since igoo. 

Most of the products of the county are marketed at Calhoun, situated in the rich 
valley of the Oostenaula, on the Western and Atlantic Railway, and having water-works 
and telephone connection. Resaca, named for the second battle of the Mexican war, was 
itself the scene of fierce fighting in ]May, 1864, as was also Lay's Ferr^^ 

Flour and grist mills, a large brickyard and many small industries and good com- 
mercial houses add to the comforts of the people. Schools and churches are scattered 
all over the county. 

Paulding county has fine bodies of land along the Tallapoosa river. Pumpkinvine. 
Sweetwater, and other creeks, yielding abundantly of the crops already mentioned as 
produced by other counties of this section. 

During the campaign of 1864, for ten days, from May 2-, to June 4, there was con- 
stant fighting along the line of Pumpkinvine creek from Dallas to Allatoona, marked 
l)y the fierce combats of New Hope church. Pickett's Mill and Dallas, the whole series 
of battles and skirmishes being called by both Johnston and Sherman the battle of New 
Hope Church, and pronounced by Sherman a drawn battle. 

There are good water powers on some of the streams, and some of them are utilized 
by grist mills. 

With plenty of good freestone water and a healthful climate and schools and 
churches, this is a fine country in which to make a home. Dallas, the county-sile, has 
electric light and telephone connection.

ill easy distance of tlie two other great lines, has also through the Coosawattee, which 
empties into the Oostenaula, steamboat transportation to Rome, the leadflig market of 
Northwest Georgia. The Western and Atlantic Railroad runs close to its southwestern 
line, and Dalton, in \\ hitfield county, where this road crosses the Southern Railway, 
is the chief market for a lare part of JNlurray county. Well watered by the Con- 
nesauga and Coosawattee rivers and their branches, the lands are fertile, producing in 
abundance the crops already mentioned in the counties of this section, and affording 
also fine pasturage for sheep and cattle. This county is rich in minerals, and on the 
Cohutta Mountains, which cross its eastern section, profitable mining has been done. 

Along this beautiful range in sheltered orchards son:e of tlie most luscious fruit is 
grown. 

Spring Place, the county-site, in the midst of cliarming scenery, with the Cohutta 
Mountains in full view, has a handsome court-house, good schools and churches, which 
are scattered also over every section of the county. 

All over the county are mineral springs, of which the Cohutta Springs, ten miles 
from Spring Place, are the most noted. 

Cherokee, Gilmer, Pickens and Fannin are traversed by the Atlanta, Knoxville and 
Northern Railways, from which, at Blue Ridge, the county-site of Fannin, a growing 
town with electric lights and telephone connection, there runs off a branch road 
to the northeast. These countes have already been n:entioned as famous f(ji 
their rich veins of beautiful marble of several varieties. Cherokee is also one 
of the chief gold mining counties of Georgia, and has besides deposits of iron, mica, talc, 
marble and other minerals. Near Canton, the county-site, is a spring, strongly im- 
pregnated with alum and noted for great curative powers. This town, beautifulh' sit- 
uated on an eminence around whose base flows the Etowah river, has a cotton mill, a 
mill for sawing and finishing marble, and for monumental work, and enjoys telephone 
connections and electric lights. The price of land in Cherokee county has increased 50 
per cent, since 1900. 

From the village of Ball Ground runs a short railroad about ten miles long to the 
quarries. 

Pickens is noted for its great abundance of the finest marble, of which \ast cjnanti- 
ties are blocked out in the cjuarries and conveyed to Marietta over the Atlanta, Knox- 
\-ille and Northern Railroad. At and near Tate are some of the richest marble cjuarries 
of the United States. The crops are those already mentioned as belonging to this sec- 
tion of Georgia, and the \'alley lands are e.xceedingl}' fertile. 

At \Valeska, eight miles from Canton, is the Reinhardt Normal College, a fine school 
for boys and girls. 

The valley lands of Fannin and Gilmer are also \-ery productive. Gold and copper 
are found in Fannin, and gold and iron in Gilmer, in which latter county there is also 
great abundance of beautiful marble, both the pure white and \'ariegated, limestone, 
sandstone, mica, slate and granite. Cotton is not raised in Fannin, and very little in Gil- 
mer. But there are in the valleys fine crops of wheat, corn, barley and oats. All vege- 
tables do well. 

Apples of fine quality are raised in both these counties, and can be kept almost from 
one end of the year to the other. 

At Morganton. in Fannin, is the North Georgia Baptist College, a fine institution. 

The railroad has greatly developed both of these counties, as may be seen from 
the fact that the town of Blue Ridge, the countj'-site of Fannin, had in 1890 only 264 
inhabitants, and in 1900 contained a population of 1,148, nearly all being white. The

negroes in Fannin county number nnly ji)6 in a total population of 11,214, and in Gilmer 
county "jj out of a total of 10,198. 

The Eastern Section of North Georgia embraces the counties of Forsyth, Daw- 
son, Lumpkin, Union, Towns, White, Hall, Rabun, Habersham, Stephens, Banks, h'rank- 
lin and Hart. 

Rabun, Towns and Union form the northern tier of these counties. Close to the 
northwestern corner of Union county passes the railroad that runs from Blue Ridge, in 
Fannin county, to Murphy, in North Carolina, and a road from Tallulah Falls running 
northward through Rabun to Franklin, in North Carolina, is rapidly approaching com- 
pletion, being already operated from Cornelia to the North Carolina line. With these 
exceptions, this part of the mountain section of Georgia is without railroad facilities. 
The counties of White, Lumpkin, Dawson and Forsyth are as yet without such ad- 
\-antages. In Towns there is abundance of granite and serpentine quarries for building. 
Iron, chrome, magnetite, manganese, asbestos, talc, ochre, yellow and red plumbago, 
buhr, some gems and plenty of corundum are found. At Tate City, there is a large plant 
for mining corundum. The mountain streams afford fine water powers. At Young 
Harris is a Methodist college, and at Hiawassee is one belonging to the Baptists. 

In the western part of Union are found iron ore, alum, sulphate of iron and granite 
c|uartz. There are large quarries of millstone of excellent cjuality. On Ivy Log, Brass 
Town and Coosa creek gold has been found, and also variegated marble. 

The mineral products of Rabun are gold, copper, corundum, mica, asbestos and 
sandstone. Iron, carbonate of iron and alum are found. 

The celebrated Tallulah Falls, a succession of beautiful cascades and a grand chasm 
afford some of the most picturesque views in the United States. 

The apples, cabbages and chestnuts produced in this part of the State are verv fine. 
I^umpkin countv is in the heart of the gold Iielt of Georgia. Many millions of dol- 
lars ha\e been taken from its mines, and for the last half century the vicinity of 
Dahlonega, its county-site, has been the center of the most extensive gold mining- 
operations of Georgia. Just east of Dahlonega is a long line of high ridges and hills 
e.xtending many miles to the southeast, which form the axis of the gold belt and are 
covered all o\er with the prospector's pits, cuts and tunnels. There are tweh'e gold 
mines now in operation paving- good dividends. In almost e\'erv part of the countv 
gold is found and the evidence of its e.xistence everN'where meets tlie eye. 

Dahlonega, with a population of 1,255, stretches along a high hill, commanding a 
fine view of Walker's Mossy Creek and "N'onah mountains. This town has electric 
lights and telephone connections. 

In \\'hite county, which was formed from Lumpkin and Habersham counties, 
were discovered the first gold mines in Georgia. Gold and asbestos are still niined 
to a considerable extent. There are several mines of gold and ([uarries of asbestos and 
five successful gold mills. 

The beautiful Nacoochce A'alley, as fertile as it is fair, is in White county. 
Dawson county is also in the gold region. On nearly every branch that flo-w^s 
into the Etowah from its north side is a placer gold mine and from the l)ed of the 
ri\-er itself large quantities of gold ha\-e been taken and washed out with an iron pan, 
rewarding well the labor thus en-|])loyed. In this county are the falls of .Xnn'calola. 
from the summit of which the appearance of tlie range of mountains to the south, and 
west, can .scarcely be surpassed in grandeur. 

Forsvth is another g(-ild countv. Some of the mines ha\-e vieldcd large amounts

of gold. Aluch of the scenery is beautiful, especially in the neighborhood of Cuni- 
niing, the county site. Some silver and copper have been found in this county. 

In Hall county there are profitable gold mines and iron, lead and silver are found 
in small c^uantities. Large quantities of brick and lime are made and there is a large 
supply of building stones. This county has several valuable water powers aggregating 
6,000 horse-powers, some of which are utilized by Hour and grist mills. 

Gainesville, the county site, on the Southern Railway, about 53 miles from At- 
lanta, is a growing city in a fine farming county, with manufacturing establishments 
of many kinds including great cotton mills in and around its corporate limits. The 
electric light plant and waterworks are owned by the city, which also has a telephone 
system. The Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern Railway connects Gainesville with 
Alonroe and Social Circle in Walton county, and by another branch with Jefferson in 
Jackson county. Gainesville's total population is 4,382, of which 3,196 are white and 
1,186 are colored. In this city are Brenau College and Consei"vator}^ of Music for ladies 
and the Georgia Military Institute for young men. Later estimates place the population 
of Gainesville at 6,500. 

In Habersham county are found iron ore of superior quality, while granite of the 
very best is found in apparently an inexhaustible supply. There are also large de- 
posits of gold, copper, manganese, ochre, marble, slate, graphite, mica, talc and sand- 
stone. Asbestos is being profitablj' worked. Demorest, on the Tallulah Falls Railway, 
has a good trade and commands from all sides a lovely view. Clarkesville, on the same 
railway, from its high ridge near the Soque river, presents to the eye of the tourist a 
magnificent view of the surrounding country. 

Cornelia is a growing place on the Si:>utheni Railway with several manufacturing 
plants. This town and Clarkesville have both telephone connections. 

Toccoa, the county site of the new county of Stephens, on the Southern Railway, 
at the junction of the Elberton branch with the main trunk line, is a thriving town of 
between two and three thousand inhabitants, has cotton and fertilizer factories, lumber 
mills, electric lights, telephone connections and waterworks. \\'ithin three miles of the 
town is the beautiful fall of Toccoa. The price of lands in Stephens county is 100 per 
cent, higher than in 1900. 

Banks, Franklin and Hart complete the list of North Georgia counties. These 
are fine agricultural counties, but in Franklin and Hart there are also extensive man- 
ufactories, especially in and around Lavonia and Royston in Franklin county and in 
Hartwell and vicinity in Hart county. Lavonia, the largest town in Franklin county, 
on a branch of the Southern Railway, has in the town and suburbs, a population of 
2,093. Carnesville, the county site of Franklin, has planing mills, a chair factory, and 
flour mill. All these towns have telephone facilities and Hartwell and Royston have 
electric lights. At Hartwell is the Hartwell Collegiate Institute. 

All these Northeast Georgia counties have splendid lands for the production of 
the staple crops which we have alreaady named in the counties of Northwest 
Georgia, excellent also for vegetables and fruits. In the upper tier of the mountain 
counties cotton is not raised. In many localities tobacco is cultivated and some of the 
farmers make a fair profit from its sale. Splendid apples are raised all over North 
Georgia and the most luscious peaches are produced in the great orchards that dot 
the tops and slopes of the hills in all the counties traversed by the various lines of 
railway on the western side and the Southern Railway and its branches on the eastern. 
Mr. I. C. Wade, a Northern gentleman and ex-Union soldier, at one time land and in- 
dustrial agent of the Southern Railway, now makes his home at Cornelia and con-

siders that regiun one of the garden spots of the workl. Hun. O. B. Stevens, Ex-Com- 
misioner of Agriculture, has orchards of apples and peaches at Cornelia and considers 
them a splendid investment. Strawberries and raspberries of the finest varieties are 
raised in profusion all over the counties of Northwest Georgia along the lines of the 
Western and Atlantic, the Southern, the Central of Georgia, the Chattanooga South- 
ern and the Alabama Great Southern, and in Northeast Georgia along the Southern 
and its branches. Grapes too are abundant and in the vineyards around Cornelia and 
at (jther points are found the best varieties. Most of the chestnuts sold in the cities 
and towns of Georgia in the fall and winter are raised in the northern tier of coun- 
ties. The most magnificent cabbages, white and crisp, are raised in this same section, 
as are also turnips of great size and excellent flavor. All the vegetables of the North 
and of the South are grown in these highly favored localities. 

All the grasses and clover are grown to perfection and all kinds of live-stock 
thrive and give good profits to those who raise them. Poultry, eggs and honey are 
abundant and the man who knows how to make a good farm in any other part of 
the United States can find here all that heart can wish. 

There are also vast stretches of forest land having all kinds of hardwood, such 
as oaks of several varieties, pines of two varieties, poplar, ash, beech, elm, chestnut, 
hickory, maple, walnut, iron wood, sugar berry, sycamore, sweetgum, dogwood, per- 
simmon, sassafras, wild cherry, cedar and buckeye. These woods are being utilized in 
all the customary ways. 

All the cities and towns of any commercial importance have good banking facil- 
ities, well equipped stores, good schools and churches. In the thinly settled moun- 
tain regions of course church and school adA-antages are not so good, and yet there is 
scarcely a corner into which Christian ministers have not borne the light of the gos- 
pel or the school teacher carried the torch of knowledge. The climate is bracing 
and healthful, the water pure and cool, the scenery often charming in its beauty or 
awe-inspiring in its grandeur. 

There are many rough and rugg'cd places and one often meets rude and unlettered 
people. But show us the country that is de\-oid of such drawbacks. 

The advantages of North Georgia far outweigh the disadvantages, and taking it 
all in all, one can hardly find a more inviting field for enterprise or for the building 
of happy homes. 

To the tourist. Northwest Georgia possesses many attractions, especially along 
the Western and Atlantic railroad, the scene of many combats in the Atlanta cam- 
paign of 1864. At Chickamauga, the scene of a great battle in September. 1863, is a 
beautiful national park and here were assembled during the Spanish-American war 
sons of the men who had so bravely grappled with each other in the sad days of 
strife. 

Middle Georgia. — The Southern tier of the counties that have been described un- 
der the head of North Georgia is often included in Middle Georgia. The counties just 
south of them, viz. : Elbert, Madison, Jackson, Gwinnett, Milton, DeKalb, Fulton, 
Doug'las, Carroll and Haralson, although along the lower edge of the Piedmont region 
and considerably above the center of the State, are generally regarded as being in the 
northern part of what is known as Middle Georgia, while Richmond, Warren, Han- 
cock, Baldwin, Jones, Bibb, Crawford, LTpson, Talbot and Muscogee may very prop- 
erly be considered as on the Southern border of the middle belt. In the balance of 
this sketch of Georgia, in order to avoid constant repetition, let us say that schools 
and churches abound in every city, town and village and throughout the rural dis-

tricts. Again, altliough through Middle Georgia we have corn, wheat, oats, rye, anri 
other crops Hi<e those of North Georgia, let it be remembered that this is tlie home of 
cotton, the chief money crop of this section. 

After the close of tlie war of the Revolution, beginning at the eastern counties, 
the immigrants who poured into Georgia from Virginia and the Carolinas, rapidly ex- 
tended their settlements westward, encroaching more and more upon the lands of the 
Indians, until after the removal of the various nations of the Creeks beyond the Mis- 
sissippi the whole of Middle Georgia became the home of the white man, who. with 
his negro servants, opened up field after field and built towns and villages. Among 
the early settlers the Virginians were so numerous that the Indians, as we are told 
by Governor Gilmer, nearly always spoke of the Georgians as Virginians. 

As towns grew up and became centres of trade, railroads from the eastern side 
of the State were built to reach them. First came the Georgia Railroad, running 
from Augusta up into the Piedmont section, then the Central from Savannah. These 
roads, with their numerous branches, soon brought all the important towns of Mid- 
die Georgia into communication with each other and they began to grow rapidly in 
wealth and importance. The Georgia railroad was begun in 1833 and was largely 
owned by residents of Augusta, while the Central was a great enterprise of the citi- 
zens of Savannah and was begun a short while after the Georgia Railroad. The chief 
cities of Middle Georgia in the order of their size are Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Co- 
lumbus and Athens. While railroads have been a very important factor in their up- 
building, they owe their chief importance to the fact tliat they furnish the most con- 
venient markets for the rich upland agricultural region in which they are located and 
ha\-e alnmdance of cotton, lumber and other materials necessary for manufacturing. 

The splendid water powers found all through the Middle Georgia counties began to 
be utilized way back in the thirties and flour, grist and cotton mills Ijegan to spring 
up on every side. Agriculture, railroads and manufactures conspired to build up all the 
cities and towns of this section. 

Atlanta, the youngest of all these cities, is now the largest city between Wash- 
ington and New Orleans. In 1837 the Southeastern terminus of the ^^''estern and At- 
lantic railroad was established near where the Union Passenger Depot now stands 
( 1907). and Terminus was the name given to the site thus chosen. Soon afterwards 
the Georgia railroad was extended to this point. The Macon and Western came next 
and the new railroad center was in 1843 named IMarthasville, in compliment to the 
daughter of ex-Governor Lumpkin, who had been distinguished by his great interest 
in railroad enterprises in Georgia. On the 29th of December, 1847, the legislature in- 
corporated as the city of Atlanta the new town which was already giving evidence of 
rapid growth. Its name is derived from Atlantic, because it was considered as the 
gateway for trade from the west seeking a passage through Georgia to the Atlantic 
ocean. Hence also the title "Gate City," often applied to it. By the United States 
census of 1850 the population was 2,572. Until 1853 it was in the linu'ts of DeKalb 
county, of which Decatur was, as it still is, the county site. In that year the county 
of Fulton was formed and Atlanta made the county site. PiV the census of 1860 the 
liopulation of Atlanta was 9.554. During the Civil \\'ar it was the seat of important 
industries, the chief object of wdiich was the upholding of the military power of the 
Confederate States. Hence it became the prize for which desperate battles were 
fought and at last was captured by the powerful army under General Sherman TSep- 
teml)er 2nd. i8r)4). \Mien Sherman started to the sea ("November 15th. 1864). he or- 
dered c\erything burned except the mere dwelling houses and churches and no pre-

cautions were taken to prevent the spread of the flames. Only 450 houses, including 
dwellings and churches, escaped. Stores, workshops, mills, and most of the residences 
were reduced to ashes. Even before the close of hostilities in the following spring, 
the people began to return and rebuild the ruined city. Before the approach of the 
hostile army, the population of Atlanta had reached 14,000. There were very few of 
these who did not return, and, soon after peace had come to stay, new citizens from 
all over ('-e South and North began to flock in and by the census of 1870, a little over 
five year.-; from the time of its destruction, Atlanta numbered in its corporate limits, 
21,789 inhabitants. 

The city was made the capital of Georgia in 1868, and in 1877 the people of 
Georgia voted to make it their permanent capital. The handsome capitol building 
was erected on a lot donated by the city during the administration of Governor Mc- 
Daniel and cost $1,000,000. It enjoys the distinction of being one of the few public 
buildings in the United States, whose cost came within the appropriation set apart 
for its completion. 

By the census of 1900, the population of Atlanta was 89,872, and, including the im- 
mediate suburbs, 103,000. The white population in the corporate limits was 53,908, 
and the colored 35,967. On every side are still to be seen the evidences of rapid 
growth, and the United States Census estimate for 1906 gives it 104,984 inhabitants in 
its corporate limits. 

Atlanta is one of the best built cities of the United States. Handsome pulilic and 
private buildings, splendid hotels, beautful cluuxhes and elegant school buildings be- 
speak enterprise and increasing wealth. Its miles of well paved streets extend out 
from the city into first class McAdamized roads. 

Electric cars bring it into close connection with all the suburban villages and 
towns and electric lights make its main thoroughfares at night almost as bright as 
day. In the city limits and in its vicinity are great manufactories of various kinds and 
its commerce is extensive and rapidly growing. Atlanta has, of course, a fine system 
of water and gas works and two telephone systems. 

Located in Atlanta are the Technological School for whites, Atlanta University 
and Clark University for colored, a law college, business colleges, medical colleges and 
two dental colleges. 

Besides Atlanta there are in Fulton county the following towns : East Point (pop- 
ulation, 1,315), College Park fpopulation, 517), Hapeville (population, 430), Oakland 
City (population, 823). At College Park is the Cox College, a well equipped and up- 
to-date institution ; at Hapeville, the Baptist Orphans' Home, and at East Point many 
important manufacturing plants. Hapeville is on the Central of Georgia railway in 
close connection with Atlanta. College Park and East Point are on both the steam and 
electric railway lines, as is also Marietta, in Cobb county. Edgewood, with a popula- 
tion of 1,285, ^ suburb of Atlanta, is in DeKalb countv. All these are lighted by elec- 
tricity, and have telephone connections. 

Decatur, the county site of DeKalb, six miles from the Union Depot in Atlanta, 
and connected with that city by the Georgia Railway and two electric lines, is the 
seat of Agnes Scott Institute for young ladies. Near bv is the Orphans Home of the 
North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. South, and in the ^•icinity 
are cotton mills and fertilizer factories. Population, 1,418. It has electric liglits and 
telephone connections. 

The town of Stone 'Mountain on the Georgia Railroad, about ten miles northeast 
of Decatur, derives its name from a great mountain of granite 1,500 feet above the level 



Georgia's Resources and Advantages. 49 

of tlie sea and 900 feet above llic surrounding' country. From the quarries at and 
near this mountain are cut immense quantities of the best granite to be found in the 
United States, and at Litlnmia, in the soutlieastern part of DeKalb county, the quarries 
of gneiss bring handsome profits to their owners. 

In Gwinnett county, Lawrenceville, the county site on tlie Seaboar<l x'X.ir Line Rail- 
way, and Buford on the Southern, are thriving towns. Bnford, the larger, with a 
population of 1,352, has three large harness factories, one sn^aller one and four tanneries, 
and at Lawrenceville is a cotton mill. B0II1 of tlicse towns ha\-e electric lights and 
telephone connections. 

In this county granite is abundant, iron, (juartz and buhrstone are found and 
there is some gold in the Chattahoochee river and at a few otiier points. 

In Milton county, on the upper edge of Fulton, there is abundance of timber and 
stone for building purposes. Though no railroarl passes through the county, the South- 
ern Railway runs close to its boundary line and the price of lands has advanced 100 per 
cent, since 1900. selling now at from $6.00 to $100.00 per acre. Alpharetta, the 
countv town, has telephone connections. 

Douglas, Carroll and Haralson counties are Ijrought into close touch with Atlanta 
by one of the lines of the Southern Railway. In each of these counties there is 
abundance of hard wood, and some pine. The water is cool and healthful, the cli- 
mate i)racing. In Douglas county are the Lithia Springs, a favorite health resort, whose 
waters are highly ])rized for their medicinal properties. 

In Carroll county g'old, copper, iron, pyrites, mica and asbestos are found in work- 
al)lc quantities. The gold is said to be of very fine quality. IVear Villa Rica, in an 
extent of countrv six miles long and one mile wide are several mines yielding large 
amounts of gold. Quartz and granite are also found. Villa Rica has electric lights and 
telephone connections. 

Gold is mined extensively in Haralson county, also, and the Royal Gold Mine at 
Tallapoosa has a plant which cost $200,000. This is a great county for vineyards 
and near Tallapoosa are two wineries, one of which manufactures unfermented wine. 

Talla])oosa, the county site, has a population of 2,128 inhabitants, has manufacto- 
ries, electric lig'hts and telephone connections. 

Among the manufactories of Haralson county mav be mentioned a glass factory, a 
charcoal pig iron furnace, and flour, grist and saw mills. 

A cotton mill and cottonseed oil mills are among the manufactories of Carrollton, 
the county-.'^^ite of Carroll county, which has electric lights, water-works, a telephone 
system and, in igoo, had a population of i,qq8, which is now about 3,000. 

In Campbell and Coweta counties there are inexhaustible supplies n{ granite, ex- 
tensive de])osits being in the vicinity of Newnan, while near (jrant\-ille gold is ob- 
tained in payable quantities. In both these counties and in Troup county are large 
manufacturing establishments. The fruit industry of Coweta is steadilv growing. 
Nine miles east of Newnan is Vina Vista, one of the most complete wineries in the 
South. Newnan, the county site of Coweta, a thriving little city of 3. ('154 inhabitants, 
has electric lights, ice plant, waterworks, a telephone system, a good fire department and 
splendidly paying industries. 

LaGrange, the county site of Troup, with a population of 4,274, has waterworks, 
electric lights, a telephone system, and with its two colleges for ladies is a place of great 
refinement and culture. It is .surrounded by a magnificent farming country, market 
gardens and orchards, and in its vicinity is a noted creamery. Dairy and beef cattle 
and fine stock of all kinds indicate the thrift of the people. 



50 Georgia's Resources and Advantages. 

West Point, another large manufacturing town of Troup county, owns its own 
electric lights and waterworks, and has a telephone system. It is on the border of Ala- 
bama and Georgia. There are in its corporate limits inside of the Georgia line 1,797 
inhabitants. Near West Point is a large pecan grove. Meriwether county is rich in min- 
eral deposits, such as gold, iron, asbestos and granite. The gold mines, even with primi- 
tive methods, have yielded handsomely for forty years. At Chalj'beate Spring iron ore 
of the best qualitj' is found. The asbestos deposits are abundant in yield and easily 
worked. Meriwether granite is equal to that of Ouincy, Massachusetts, and susceptible 
of very fine polish. The church of St. Luke, in Columbus, Ga., used this granite ex- 
clusively in its elegant columns and the other granite work employed in its construction. 
This county is famous for its springs, the Chalybeate and Warm Springs, and also has 
fine farming lands. 

Heard county also has abundance of granite and possesses splendid farming lands. 

Fayette also has fine farming lands. Coweta, Troup, Meriwether and Fayette all 
possess magnificent water powers. Clayton and Henry have good water powers and 
some fine farm lands and are prosperous counties. Asbestos is found in Clayton and 
Henry county cotton ranks high in the market. Favetteville, the county-site of Fay- 
ette county, has telephone connections, and so has McDonough, the county-site of Henry 
county, while Jonesboro, the county-site of Clayton, has telephone advantages and 
electric lights. 

Rockdale county produces much pa\'ing and building material and has several 
flourishing manufacturing plants. Conyers, the county site on the Georgia Railroad, 
with a population of 1,605, ^^s an active cotton trade. Its paper mill, fertilizer factory 
and cotton seed oil mill pay good profits. It has electric lights and telephone connec- 
tions. 

Newton is a fine agricultural county with good paying manufacturing industries. 
Covington, the county site (population, 2,062), on the Georgia Railroad and the termi- 
nus of a branch of the Central, has large cotton mills in its vicinity, and is connected 
by a street railway with Oxford, the seat of the great Southern Methodist Institution, 
Emon,' College. The suburbs of the two towns join at the Georgia Railroad. Coving- 
ton has electric lights and telephone advantages. 

Social Circle (population, 1,229), a town of Walton county, on the Georgia Rail- 
road, has telephone advantages, a cottonseed oil mill, a fertilizer factory and some 
smaller industries, and by the Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern branch of the Geor- 
gia Railroad, is connected with Monroe, the county-site (population, 1,846), which has 
also a cottonseed oil mill, besides a cotton mill and prosperous mercantile establishments, 
waterworks, electric lights and telephone connections. The price of lands in Walton 
county has increased 100 per cent, since 1900. 

Madison (population, 2,000), also on the Georgia Railroad, one of the most beau- 
tiful of the small cities of Georgia, has a cotton oil mill, fertilizer factory and other 
industries. It is the county seat of Morgan, a well watered and fertile county noted 
for large j'ields of fruits, wheat, corn anrl cotton. ^Madison has electric lights, water- 
works and a telephone system. 

Eatonton (population, 1,823) connected by railroad with Covington, Madison, and 
Milledgeville, a beautiful town, adorned with many shade trees, is the county site of 
Putnam. It is in the center of a fine cotton section and has three cotton factories and 
a shoe factory. In its vicinit}^ are raised peaches, plums, and grapes. Within twelve 
miles of this town are the Oconee Springs, noted for their mineral properties. There

University, and the Normal and Industrial College for Young Ladies. It has fine pub- 
lic schools. The State Sanitarium for the Insane, the largest institution of its kind 
under one management in the world, is three miles west of Milledgeville. Nine miles 
south of Milledgeville is Steven's Pottery, at one of the finest clay deposits in America. 

Athens, the county seat of Clarke county, with a population of 10,245 ^^^ 1900, 
and 1 1,21 r in 1906, is connected by rail with Atlanta and Augusta, and with the chief 
towns of the neighboring counties. It is on the Oconee River, which affords splendid 
water power for its large cotton factories, cottonseed oil mills and other industries. 
Beautiful in situation, adorned with handsome homes, at an elevation of 800 feet, 
which renders its climate delightful, with gas and electric lights, water-works, ice 
plants, telephone system and electric railway, with fine commercial advantages, it is 
also the seat of the State University, the State Normal School for both sexes, and 
Lucy Cobl) Institute for ladies. It has long borne the name "Classic City." The price 
of land in Clarke county, from $5.00 to $100.00 per arce, is an increase of 2~, per cent, 
since 1900. 

Commerce (a. new name for the much more euphonious one of Harmony Grove), 
the largest town of Jackson county, on a branch of the Southern Railway, has a cotton 
mill, cottonseed oil mill, two potteries and factories for making wagons and buggies, 
harness and mattresses, electric lights and telephone connections. 

Jackson, of which Jefiferson is the county site, is a fine agricultural county. The 
same is true of Ocimee and Madison counties, each of which has splendid water- 
powers, which at High Shoals on the Appalachee ri\er, in Oconee county, have been 
utilized by a cotton factory. Jefferson has telephone connections. 

Elbert is one of the finest agricultural counties of Georgia and Elbertnn, the 
county site, is one of its most progressive towns. Its pojiulation is .^,834, of which 
2,224 are white and 1,610 colored. At the junction of the Seaboard Air Line and a 
branch of the Southern system, it has a large cotton trade and important manufactories, 
including a cotton mill, cottonseed oil mill and planing mills. It has electric lights, 
water-works, telephone svstem and good public schools, and like all the towns and 
cities of its section, is well supplied with churches. There is a cotton factory at 
Be\'erly on Beaver Dam Creek. In the county are three guano factories, two carriage 
factories, a large flouring mill with ]iatent mljer jirocess, and four ("|uarries from 
which are obtained as fine granite as can be found in the State of Georgia. 

The waterpowers of Elbert county are immense and there is room for many large 
mills withciut danger of exhausting them. Oglethorpe, which is separated from Elbert

Washington, the county site, is one of the most beautiful of Georgia towns and 
one of the oldest, being the first named in honor of the "Father of our Countr\-." It 
was the home of Robert Toombs and the place wh.ic [cttcrson l)a\is held his last 
cabinet n:eeting at the close of the Civil War. It has a cotton couipress, tannery, lum- 
ber ami pi ming nulls and a bricl- factory. It has a public libraiy and good public 
schools and churches, has a wate; works plant, electric lights and telephone connections.

Columbia, ijncoln and McDuffie are al! good agricultural counties. There is one 
noted gold mine in Lincoln county and in .McDuffie arc three in successful operation. 

Thon:son, the county site of McDuffie (popiilaiion, 1.154), O" the Georgia rail- 
road, has electric lights, water-works, telephones, a canning establishment and manu- 
factures cotton goods and fertilizers. 

(ireene county is tho center of the Bermuda Gias.^ Region and dairying and the 
raising of beef cattle are two of its great industries. 

Greensboro, the county site (population, 1,511). has a cotton mill and at I'nion 
Point are fertilizer factories and a knitting mill, also an electric light plant. There 
are other industries, as a knitting mill at Perifield. a wagon factory at White Plains, a 
box factory at Siloam and several l1our and grist mills throughout the county. There 
are fine water ])owers. especially on the Oconee river. Greensboro has water-works, 
ekctric lights and telephones. 

.\ugu.sta. the county scat of Richiriond, is the second oldest city in Georgia and 
in cotton manufacture the first in Georgia and the South, bemg for this reason often 
styled the "Lowell of the South." It is at the head of steamboat navigation, is the 
third in the State in size, and had in igoo a population of 39,441 in the corporate limits 
( JO.913 being white and 18,328 colored). Tl)e population by the census report of 1906 
is 43.CCO in the corporate limits. From 1735. when it was first laid out, it was a cen- 
ter of tra 'e. Seven miles above the city ar^ ilu falls of the Savannah river. Here 
the city built a dam and a canal nine milc!- long and 150 feet wide, so as to utilize 
the great water power. Of the 14.000 horse powers already developed at this point, 
ii.oco are now in use. There are mills belonging to nine different companies and a 
nun ber of n-ill; across the river in South Carolina are built and owned by Augusta 
cajjitalists. There are in Augiista fertilizer and cotton seed oil factories, foundries, plan- 
ing mills and manufactories of medicines, clothing and minor articles. 

'I'hc Ge irgia Medical College, a department <■{ the State University, is located in 
Augusta, and here is the Academy of Richmond county, which dates back to colonial 
days. If in the census report of 7900 the suburbs had been included, the population 
would have nuiubered 45.000. Summerville. a b.'autiful suburban town connected with 
.\ugusta by electric railway, has a population of 3,245. Here is located the U. S. arse- 
nal. From the point overlooking the city and from the heights of North Augusta on 
the South Carolina side, the view of the city is very charming, especially at niglit with 
its brilliant electric lights, .\ugusta is one of the largest interior cotton markets in the

South. It has both gas and electric plants, waterworks, telephone systems. Price of land 
from $5.00 to $300.00 as in 1900. 

Commercially, Taliaferro, Glascock, Warren and Hancock, and also of those already 
named, Columbia, Lincoln and McDuffie are in close touch with Augusta. 

Warrenton (population, 1,113), is the county site of Warren county, and is a profit- 
able market for the vegetables, fruits and melons raised in the neighborhood. It has 
telephone advantages. 

Sparta, the county seat of Hancock county, on a branch of the Georgia Railroad, 
about half way between Augusta and Macon, is a thriving town, to which the prod- 
ucts of the county are brought for market and shipment. There is at Sparta a cot- 
ton oil mill, a flourishing creamery and in its vicinity are some large peach orchards. 
Sparta has electric light and telephone connections. Asbestos, plumbago, kaolin and 
agate are found in Hancock county. Peaches, apples pears, pecans, and all the staple 
crops of Middle Georgia are found in this county. 

Macon, the county seat of Bibb county, and the fourth city in the State in popu- 
lation, is a great commercial, manufacturing and educational center. Here are some 
of the largest and most substantial wholesale houses in Georgia, five cotton mills spin- 
ning yarn, three knitting mills, three iron foundries, a cotton compress, large cotton 
oil mills and fertilizer establishments, waterworks, gas and electric lights and electric 
cars. 

Here- are Wesleyan Female College, the first institution in the world chartered to 
give diplomas to ladies, Mercer University, a noted Baptist Institution, St. Stanis- 
laus College, for Catholic priests, Mount de Snies Academy, for young ladies, a nor- 
mal school for colored students, and the Academy for the Blind, a State institution 
with two departments, one for white and the other colored children, the one for whites 
being beyond the city limits. 

By the census of 1900, tlie population of Macon was 23,272, of which the whites 
numbered 11,711, and the colored, 11,561. But the suburban district of Vineville, with 
7,787 inhabitants, and East Macon with 5,078, are really parts of the city, making a 
total population of 36,137. By the United States census report for 1906 the population 
was 32,692 in the corporate limits. 

In Jones county there is a fine vein of kaolin which is being utilized. This is a 
part of the great clay belt, which extends from Augusta southwesterly through Bald- 
win past Macon in Bibb county to Columbus in Muscogee county. It has veins ex- 
tending down into Twiggs county to the south. Throughout the whole length and 
breadth of this belt the clays are very pure, of a beautiful white color and capable of 
standing a greater degree of heat than any other clays of the United States. 

In Butts county is the celebrated Indian Spring, a great health and pleasure re- 
sort, celebrated for the healing properties of its sulphur water. This county has flour 
and cotton mills and fertilizer factories. Jackson and Pepperton are neighboring 
towns and busy manufacturing centers. Jackson has a population of 1,487 and Pepper- 
ton 500. These towns have telephone connections. 

In Monroe county is Forsyth (population, 1,172), the seat of Monroe Female Col- 
lege. It is a handsome town with several prosperous industries. Barnesvilie is a 
growing city of Pike county, has two of the largest buggy factories in the South, and 
is the seat of one of the best schools of Georgia, the Gordon Institute. Its popula- 
tion is 3.036. Barnesvilie and Forsyth have telephones, electric lights and water- 
works, and Zebulon, the county-site of Pike country, has telephones. 

Spalding is a county of good farms and many manufactories. Griffin, the county 
site, owns its own waterworks and electric-lights, has telephone connections, an ice

plant, cottonseed oil mills, planing mills, chair factory, five large cotton mills and manu- 
factures more Turkish towels than are made anywhere in America. Near by is the 
United States Experiment Station for Georgia. The population of Griffin was 6,857 in 
1900, the whites numbering 3,599, and the colored 3,258. In addition to the usual crops, 
there are orchards of peaches and apples, vineyards and a pecan grove. 

Upson county has fine water powers on Big Potato creek. Thomaston, the county 
seat (population, 1,714) has a cotton mill, electric lights and telephones. The R. E. Lee 
Institute is in Thomaston. On the east of Flint river are the Pine Mountains, the highest 
points of which are 800 feet above the river. 

Talbottun, the county seat of Talbot (population, 1,131), is in the center of a good 
farm and trucking country. It has two fine schools, Collinsworth Institute and Le- 
Vert Female College, four good public schools, and telephone advantages. 

Harris county has good farming lands and fine water powers. 

Columbus, the county site of Muscogee, is an important manufacturing city, well 
known for its splendid cotton mills. In addition to being a great railroad center, it 
enjoys the advantages of water transportation and 'has a fine steamboat trade with 
towns and the country along the Chattahoochee river. Augusta alone in the South 
excels Columbus in the manufacture of cotton goods, for which the fine waterpowers 
of the Chattahoochee afford splendid facilities. The population of the city in its cor- 
porate limits was 17,614 by the census of 1900. Of these, 10,337 were white and '/,2j'] 
colored. The population is now estimated at 20,000. Columbus has electric lights, 
telephones, water-works and electric car lines. 

Agriculture, manufacture, commerce, education and the influence of the churches 
have combined to make Middle Georgia one of the most desirable sections of the 
Union. 

Over large portions of Middle Georgia wheat is a profitable crop, yielding on very 
ordinary land eight, and on good lands from 15 to 40 bushels to the acre, and in some 
instances as high as 60 bushels to the acre. Corn ranges all the w-ay from 10 to 50 
bushels to the acre and in some instances has gone beyond 100 bushels. The peavine, 
often called the clover of the South, affords in its peas not only a nourishing food for 
stock, especially for milch cows, but also a wholesome diet for the table. The vines 
make the best of hay and the yield varies according to soil and cultivation from 2,000 
to 14,000 pounds to the acre. The peavine is also one of the best of soil renovators. 
The vetches, sorghum and millet and, in the more northern counties of the section, 
clover, are cultivated for forage crops. Considerable quantities of sugarcane are 
raised, but it is in South Georgia that this is one of the leading crops. But Middle 
Georgia, together with the larger part of South Georgia, is the great cotton region of 
the State. The yield of this great money crop varies according to soil from 500 to 
1500 pounds of seed cotton to the acre, or from a third to a whole 500-pound bale to 
the acre. In e\ery pound of seed cotton one-third is lint and two-thirds seed. The 
lint is manufactured into yarn and cloths of various kinds. Part of the seed is used 
for replanting, and great quantities of it are sold to the cottonseed oil mills, which 
manufacture from them oil and cottonseed meal and have left the hulls and linters, 
which also liring profitable prices. 

During the past season the high prices that have prevailed make the average value 
of Georgia's cotton crop, including lint, oil, meal, hulls and linters equal to $100,000,000. 

The traveler going through Georgia can not judge the quality of the. soil by what 
he sees from a train moving over a road that runs for the most part along the ridges. 
If he stops at some station and takes a ride out into the country, he will find rich

lands teeming with profitable crops. He will also fin J farms where exhausted lands 
have, by a careful system of renovation and scientific culture, been brought back to the 
productiveness of the virgin soil. There are farms where skillful farmers have taken 
so-called worn-out lands and made them yield a bale of cotton to the acre, and at the 
same time have added each year to the productiveness of the soil. 

There is hardly a farmer in Middle Georgia who does not ha\-e his orchards of 
l)eaches, apples, pears and cherries, quantities of blackberries and jjatches of luscious 
strawberries and in his vegetable garilen a good variety of healthful diet, for the table. 
Grapes are abundant and there are large vineyards, especially on the Central Railway, 
between Macon and .\tlanta >m the Southern, and on the Atlanta and West Point 
Railroads. 

Irish potatoes of the best types are raised, and in the sweet potato Georgia in 
ex'ery section possesses an article of food which in the varied dishes that can be pre- 
pared from it, furnishes not onl)- wholesome, but sometimes luxurious diet. Figs also 
are among the fruits of Middle Georgia and in many localities pomegranates are 
found. 

South Georgia. — 'Counties of this section are Appling, Baker, Ben Hill, Berrien, 
Brooks, Bryan, Bulloch, Calhoun, Camden, Charlton, Chatham, Chattahoochee. Clay, 
Clinch, Coffee, Colquitt, Crisp, Decatur, Dodge, Dooly, Dougherty, Early, Echols, 
Effingham, Emanuel, Glynn, Grady, Houston, Irwin, Jeff Davis, Jenkins, Laurens, Lee, 
Liberty, Lowndes, Mcintosh, Macon, Marion, Miller, Mitchell, Montgomery, Mus- 
cogee, Pierce, Pulaski, Quitman, Randolph, Schley, Scre\-en, Stewart. Sumter, Tatt- 
nall, Ta^dor, Telfair, Terrel, Thomas, Tift, Toombs, Turner, Ware, Wayne, Webster, 
Wilcox, Wilkinson, Worth. Of tiie three Georgia sections, this is the most extensive in 
area and. with the exception of a few localities, showed during the decade from 1890 to 
1900 the heaviest gains in population and wealth. This will be surprising to some 
who are in the habit of looking upon South Georgia as a malarial section, healthy 
only during the winter. But there is much hill country all over Southwest Georgia 
which is healthy the year round and in Southeast Georgia and throughout the coastal 
plain region the many artesian wells supplying pure, good water have wrought 
srch a change that localities once regarded as very unwholesome are now the healthy 
abode of a rapidly increasing population, while on all the numerous railroad lines that 
penetrate this whole region are flourishing and rapidly growing towns and cities. 

This is not, on the whole, as good a wheat country as either North or Middle 
Georgia, and in some parts no wheat is grown at all. But over the greater part of 
it are made heavy yields of cotton and corn, and thousands of acres produce the su- 
gar-cane, the richest in saccharine matter of any plant that grows. The Georgia cane 
syru]) is already a favorite in many parts of the United States, and its manufacture and 
sale are steadily and rapidly growing. South Georgia produces the greater part of 
the crop of sea-island cotton, the finest in the markets of the world. 

Tobacco, too, is being extensively cultivated, and there is in Decatur county one 
of the largest tobacco farms in the Unit d States. In addition to the millet, crab 
p;rass. antl crowfoot, sorghum forage and peavines of Middle Georgia are the soja and 
the x'eh'et bean, both splendid for stock and the Ijest of soil renovators. Cassava, also 
a fine feed for stock, ^•ields h:iuntifullv thrrughout this section and the lower counties 
of Middle Georgia. 

Although but little wheat comparatively is grown in this sectinn. yet there are 
splendid yields of oats. ]\Ir. R. S. Williams, of Sumter county, whose post-ofiice is 
Smithville, in Lee county, raised, in 1905, on each of 18 acres, 80 bushels of oats, mak-

ing $42.00 net profit to the acre. On each of 10 acres of sweet potatoes, he made 100 
bushels, and sold the crop for $750.00, or at 75 cents a bushel. He also fattened and 
killed 75 hogs, averaging 200 pounds each, which he sold at 10 cents a pound. 

The great peach orchards of Southern Georgia have a national reputation and 
their fame has even crossed the Atlantic. There are fine vineyards also in many places. 

In Southeast Georgia are some of the largest market gardens (truck farms) in the 
State, especially in the neighborhood of Brunswick and Savannah. 

All over the coastal plain from the Atlantic ocean to the Chattahoochee river on 
the western border of the State are extensive forests of long-leaf pine, producing an- 
nually millions of feet of lumber and gallons of spirits of turpentine, giving employ- 
ment to sawmills, great and small, to railroads, steamboats, ships and merchants. 

As the forest lands are cleared, market gardens and flourishing farms spring up. 
The marls with the muck from swamps furnish a cheap fertilizer easy to be obtained. 

There are vast ranges for cattle and sheep, and of the latter there are some very 
large flocks, yielding a fine profit to their owners. Beef-cattle of the best breeds can, 
by recent discoveries, be rendered immune as to the cattle-tick and its resultant Texas 
fever, and with need for shelter but a short time during the winter, can be raised with 
great profit to the stock men. 

Though rice is grown in the upper counties of Georgia, the great rice crop of the 
State is that of Southeast Georgia. 

Southeast Georgia was the first settled portion of the State. Here Oglethorpe's 
first settlement was made at Savannah, and at Frederica, on St. Simon's Island, was 
his favorite home. Though of Frederica nothing remains but the ruins of the old fort 
and the memory of the defeat of the Spaniards at the "Bloody Marsh," across St. Si- 
mon's Sound, on the banks of the Turtle river, is the growing city of Brunswick, the sec- 
ond in size of Georgia's seaports. 

The chief cities of South Georgia are Savannah, Brunswick, Americus, Waycross, 
"Valdosta, Thomasville, Albany, Cordele, Dublin, Dawson, Cuthbert, Bainbridge, Quit- 
man, Moultrie and Hawkinsville. 

Savannah is the oldest city of Georgia, its most important seaport and commer- 
cial center, ranking among the cities of the South, next to New Orleans in the value 
of its commerce, first in the world in the shipment of naval stores, and third as a cot- 
ton market. 

Savannah stands upon a bluff 46 feet above the level of the Savannah, and 18 
miles from the sea. It is connected by water with every county of the Atlantic 
coastal plain, and by rail with every part of Georgia, and the railroads that radiate 
from it in all directions give it rapid connections with every quarter of the Union, The 
Savannah, the first steamship that ever crossed the Atlantic, was owned in Savannah, 
and the Ocean Steamship Company, of thai city, has the finest line of steamers to-day 
that ply between Northern and Southern ports. Among the exports of Savannah are 
not only the raw cotton, but also cotton goods from the factories of Georgia, rice, lum- 
ber and naval stores and fruits, melons and vegetables from the orchards, fields and 
market gardens of the vicinity, and on the lines of the railroads, steam and electric, that 
come into the city. Its import trade is very extensive, and its large wholesale houses 
are strong and substantial. 

Its manufacturing interests are important, embracing various grades of cotton 
goods, cottonseed-oil mills, fertilizer factories, foundries, machine shops for making ag- 
ricultural implements, and various other industries. 

It is one of the most beautiful cities of the Union, and has several handsome his- 
toric monuments, viz. : one to General Nathaniel Greene, another to Count Pu-

laski, another to Sergeant Jasper, all heroes of the American revolution; one to W. W. 
Gordon, the great promoter of the Central Railroad, one in honor of the Confed- 
erate soldiers, one to General LaFayette McLaws, and one to General Francis S. Bar- 
tow. 

The population of Savannah by the census of 1900 was 54,244, of which the wliites 
numbered 26,109, and the colored 28,135. But a large, thickly settled district has been 
taken into the corporate limits, and this, together with the natural increase, has added 
considerably to the population of the city, wliich, according to the United State census 
report for 1906, is 68,000. inhabitants. 

On the branch of the Central Railroad, between Savannah and Augusta, the town 
of Waynesboro (population 2,030), in the midst of a cotton and lumber region, has cot- 
tonseed-oil mills and fertilizer factories, is lighted by electricity, and has water-works 
and telephone system. It is the county-seat of Burke, which is the greatest 
cotton county of Georgia. At Shell Bluff is an inexhaustible supply of lime- 
stone of the best quality for making lime. Buhrstone is very abundant in this county. 
Louisville (population 1,000), the county-site of Jefferson county, has electric lights, 
water-works and telephone connections. It is an old town of historic interest from the 
circumstance that for nine years (from 1795 to 1804) it was the capital of Georgia. 

Sandersville and Tennille are important towns of Washington county, the former 
being the county-site. Sandersville is on :i branch of the Southern Railway, and 1 aa 
:V^od commercial facilities, large fertilize'- es':ayishments and machine shops. It is sit- 
uated upon a ridge between the Oconee and Cigcechee rivers, 500 feet above sea-leve!. 
Population, 2,023. Tennille is smaller, having 1,121 inhabitants, but is quite a manu- 
facturing center, having a cotton factory, cottonseed-oil mill, hard wood factory, min- 
eral works, machine works and novelty factory. Connected with Tennille by a short 
railroad is Wrightsville (population, 1,127), the county-seat of Johnson county, in 
the midst of an e.xtensive timl>er region. From the great forests of pine in this county 
are manufactured rosin and turpentine. Sandersville, Tennille and Wrightsville have 
each electric lights and telephones. 

In Wilkinson county there is a quarry of limestone, whence is obtained a material 
which, after hardening in the open air, has been found to be excellent for the construc- 
tion of chimneys. In Twiggs county there is a fine vein of pottery clay. 

In Laurens county, the large number of sawmills and turpentine distilleries pre- 
pare great quantities of lumber, rosin and turpentine for export to Savannah. 

Dublin, the county-site, a rapidly-growing town of 2,987 inhabitants, has sev- 
eral prosperous mercantile and manufacturing establishments, among the latter being a 
cotton mill, a cotton-oil mill, ice and furniture factory, a foundry, brick works, variety 
works, stone factory, a shingle machine, a ham-packing establishment, and many small 
industries, also electric lights, water- works and telephones. 

In Bryan and Bulloch counties the larger part of the cotton raised is sea-island. 
In both these counties, Emanuel and Screven, lumber and turpentine interests are ex- 
tensive, as they are also in Montgomery, Tattnall, Liberty and Mcintosh. Darien, the 
county-site of Mcintosh (population, 1,739), has a large trade in lumber, rosin and 
turpentine. All these are good agricultural counties. 

Brunswick (population 9.081 in 1900, and 9,453 in 1906), the county-seat of 
Glynn county, the second in size and importance of the seaports of Georgia, has one of 
the best harbors on the Atlantic coast, is beautifully located on a bluff of white sand, 
and has a heavy trade in lumber and naval stores. The city has water-works and elec-

trie lights. Glynn cuunty has great quantities of pine and cypress timbers, and a 
considerable amount of hardwoods besides. 

Waycross, the countv-seat of Ware county, is one of the great railroad centers of 
Southeast Georgia. It had by the last census a population of 5.919. It has electric 
lights, water-works, telephones, a street railway and several manufacturing industries. 
The pine and cypress timbers are very valuable. Rosin, turpentin and lumljer are shipped 
in large cjuantities. The railroads radiating from this town bring into it the products of 
many adjoining counties, viz. : Pierce, Coffee, Clinch, Charlton, and parts of Berrien 
and Appling, while Jesup in Wayne, another growing railroad center, into which 
are gathered the products of the neighboring" pine forests for shipm.ent to Brunswick and 
Savannah, has the convenience of electric lights and telephones. With both of these 
Georgia ports Montgomery, Telfair, Dodge and Wilcox counties ha\e easy access by 
rail. Large flocks of sheep range in all these counties, bringing with their wool good 
profits to their owners. 

McRae (population, 1,020), the county-seat of Telfair, on the Southern Railway, 
is the center of a large business in lumber, shingles, turpentine and rosin, has saw and 
planing mills, an oil and fertilizer factory, electric lights, water-works and telephones. 
Here is located the South Georgia College. 

Abbeville (population, 1,152), the county-seat of Wilcox, on the west bank of the 
Ocmulgee ri\er, and connectetl with Savannah by the Seaboard Air Line Railway, is 
lighted bv electricity, has artesian wells and telephone connections, and has alsn a large 
trade in turpentine, rosin and lumber, and so has Se\-ille, on the same railroad, in the 
western part of Wilcox cuunty, a town of 1,277 inhabitants. 

Eastman (population, 1,235), the county-seat of Dodge, on an elevation of 300 
feet, has a considerable trade in cotton, lumber, cane syrup, cattle, chickens and veg-

REPORT OF EACH PEACH CROP SINCE 1895. 

1895 — Good crop- 900 cars. 

1896 — Comparativel}- a failure — 200 cars. 

1S97 — Comparatively a failure. 

189S — Good crop — 2,000 cars. 

1899 — Almost the entire crop destroj^ed. 

1900 — Good crop. 

1901 — Fair crop — damaged by wet weather. 

1902 — Fair crop. 

1903 — Good crop. 

1904 — Large crop, fruit good. 

1905— Good crop. 

1906 — Fairly good crop, notwithstanding damage from late frosts and wet weather. 

Late and heavy frosts this year (1907) have wrought considerable damage to the peach crop, especially in 
North Georgia; but near Elberton in the northern section Mr. Tate, who had 4,000 trees in bearing, sav- 
ed the fruit on 1,000 of them by making slow fires and thus producing a smudge, whose dense smoke, wherever 
it reached, saved the fruit, demonstrating the fact that the saving force was the smoke and not the heat. Would 
it not pay all our orchard men to sit up with their orchards and make these smudges in sufficient numbers to 
protect all their fruit against a threatened freeze.
